In my eyes in such a case a static site generator fits perfectly. Choose your favorite language and you should be able to have a kickstarter site within minutes. Most SSGs provide some templates / starters as well. Moreover most of these SSGs provide rich plugin mechanism for common use cases: e.g. sitemaps, i18n, .htaccess, seo, manifest, PWA, ...

My personal favorite is Gridsome. It's based on Vue.js and has a collection of starter templates and plugins. Besides I'm a huge fan of the GraphQL data layer.

And a while ago I had a same question in mind. Maybe you like my portfolio template :)
