My answer is probably boring, but it works, and I had fun with my own. Just set up Wordpress. At this point, you can find templates for any site design imaginable, and there are a million plugins for it. It's an all-around solid platform, that has mountains of documentation. Wordpress was made for blogging, can't go wrong there, but I've used it for all kinds of stuff, including ecommerce. It's simple and effective enough that I have a hard time going any other direction.
I used to host Wordpress sites on a home LAMP server; it was a fun project that didn't cause a bunch of headaches, mainly because of the amount of available documentation. Search "wordpress self-host" and you'll find a whole lot of information.
Good luck with whatever you decide on!
I'm yet to understand why people downvote comments like yours. Your answer was on-topic, provided a reasoning, was well-written... even if I haven't fully recovered from the trauma of having two wordpress sites hacked, I still think your comment has merit.
It turns out that people on Lemmy are no better responsibly using a downvote button than anywhere else. I think you should have to at least select a reason why you're downvoting to add some friction - maybe options something like "I don't like this", "I disagree", "This is factually incorrect", "Spam", "Abusive language", etc. Then you can filter out the first two!
