Portfolio website should be small , simple and clean just like one pager resume with your skills stated clean and using already available tools is "Not Cheating" instead show how resourceful and efficient you are.
Be a lazy developer. Skills should be shown in interviews , tests and project work. If you want to show your expertise you can try challenges in Codepen and similar platforms but wasting your time in developing your portfolio website using frameworks and tools and taking it as a full time project is bit odd , because you are not really creatively challenging yourself as that could have been done with simpler tools.
