Ask HN: Best Way to Create a Clean Personal Website?

I am working on a project and I would like to write an article about it when it's finished.

I thought about posting to Medium but since I have noticed Medium limiting the articles I can read each month, I don't think I want another company to control my writing.

Thus personal website.

What is the best way to make a simple personal website for a beginner/intermediate programmer? Want to spend 2-3 days on it max. And I don't want to use company-owned software such as Squarespace (those websites look weird anyways).

Here are examples I would like to emulate:

For reference, I have ~1 year of programming experience and have built iPhone apps in Swift and I have also completed some projects in Python.

What is the best way to quickly spin up a clean personal website that I have control over?

Thanks!
