If you don’t have much web dev experience I would suggest biting the bullet and paying for a service like squarespace. See it as a investment in your career. It will 95% of the time look better than what you can code on your own especially for someone just starting out in web dev. If your really dead set on learning to code your own website develop it on the side after you’ve already set up a website through a web design platform.
I checked out the link you provided above and while I appreciate the time you put into coding it on your own, it’s distracting from your awesome work. Employers aren’t hiring you because you can code a kick ass website they are hiring you for your ID design skills… Your website should emphasize your awesome work not your web dev skills.
