While it is true that Drupal can extend itself to provide great power and flexibility, there are resources available that make spinning up a new Drupal 8 site easy even to the uninitiated.

Added custom Drupal modules.
Custom sub theme.
Custom CSS/Javascript.
This presentation assumes no experience with Drupal whatsoever.
