HTML and CSS makes great websites as far as static pages are concerned. JavaScript adds polish and helps you handle events that require the page to change on the fly. If you do not want to learn JavaScript or jQuery you m ight consider using a framework such as Bootstrap, which handles them for you in some cases.
Also, no JS means that the page cannot make any "decisions" - your content is static which means if you write something like a blog you have to copy, paste, and fill the template for each page. In a long run you don't want that because if you decide to change something on the interface - say, you want to add new item to the navigation bar - now you have to go and change it everywhere one by one. A remedy for that particular pain is having a sone logic in your code which loads data to a single template based on paeameters like IDs. For that you can use client side or server side JavaSctipt, or programming languages like PHP, Python, Ruby, or C#
So yes, you can make a website with no JS. It should do fine for small website with little content like landing pages or simple portfolios. But if you want to wow people or have some dynamic content you need to think about learning JS.
