If you are a frontend developer I would suggest seeing building a portfolio as a fun challenge with some new technology as a way to learn. However if you just want to get something online quickly and without much effort, I'd suggest using some kind of static site generator. I built one that's free and open-source called HydePHP. You can create a great looking site that "just works" out of the box. You can even create all your content in Markdown. All the TailwindCSS styles are already there as it Hyde comes with a great starter kit and frontend template that's both responsive and has a dark theme. The site then gets compiled to static HTML which is easy cheap and fast to deploy.

You can learn more at hydephp.com/, and feel free to ping me if you have any questions!
