As Nathan suggested
many possibilities exist to begin to “create my own website.”

For a total newbie I’d recommend
starting with <https://wordpress.com>
Can be basically “free”
Up and running quickly.
Remarkable possibilities for expansion.
Remarkable integrity.
Huge support networks.

Like Nathan I also use Smugmug for some uses.
My imagist.com and imagist.com/blog sites
are independently hosted at a monthly expense.

You can also set up presence on Facebook and/or Google at no cost.
I have a couple of those that I use for specific projects.
