I've not tried it yet myself, but it appears that Pandoc
https://pandoc.org/ is able to output PDF/A (see the manual, and
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/3215#issuecomment-386866301). It
should be possible to convert the website's content/HTML to PDF/A with
this (I've only used Pandoc in a very limited way some months ago to
convert Markdown to HTML and Word, so don't have direct experience in
HTML to PDF conversion with it, but it should be straightforward enough).
