Firstly you want to find a hosting company that does wordpress hosting. There are quite a few free ones out there, however purchasing a VPS on DigitalOcean (called Droplets) is good too as they do a one-click build. Point your DNS to the wordpress droplet, add a site name and then set the URL in dashboard and done.

On Wordpress you'll have access to a range of themes, Astra is a good SEO friendly one because its a nice layout, minimal coding and fast.

The theme gets you a blog setup right out of the box. The theme will let you customise your site such as logo and colours as well.

And there you have it - a wordpress blog. You can make your blog more of a website by checking out the wordpress dashboard and changing your home page from Blog to an actual page, and then write stuff into there using the Gutenburg editor.

With a few hours playing around, it really shoudn't take too long to knock something together.

Once you've got even the simplest of wordpress blogs set up, there are page builders out there like WP bakery which make things a lot easier, but beware they're not great for SEO because they add a lot of unused CSS which requires further SEO work to optimise.
