No, it's not necessary. But depending on how large your website is,
using a framework can end up being a lot less work than doing it from
scratch.

That depends on how you define "very simple" and "very small".
For example, how many different pages will your website have?
A login page?
A search entry page?
A search results page?
A help page?
An error page?
A logout page?
Any other pages?
I worked on a project that did its own web handling from scratch, and
frankly it was a nightmare. But it wasn't a small project, so yours
might be doable.
