Be clever. You want to have a simple site - treat it as a CV, show your skills. Make the programming as clean as possible, my aproach was a very simple white site where I demonstrated my text design skills. That also showed I understood SCSS, critical CSS and treeshaking, ETC.
This is the problem. People are all learning the same material. New ideas are coming out but they are the same ones we batttled with a decade ago just with much larger packets.
I suggest learning deno if you use node and show that. Go white with one secondary color. Make several versions on github sites.
There are so many things that are oldschool and people appreciate because they show understanding rather than the modern - use everybody else's automation.
Make sure to program your CSS youself, but use the preprocesssor of your choice.

Learn the history because as a junior you are likely to be updating a site. Don't think you are a fullstack programmer because you use react and MVC. Take a day to learn Ruby fundamentals and see if it interests you - what's your end goal. AI? UX, SEO, Data scienece? there are a million "fullstack react devs" who have been told that client side rendering is a good thing and to follow the money because that pays their mentors. Be focussed, start simple, and decide what direction you want to focus on.

I hope this helps a bit, if you want me to expand on any point ask away.
