I would like to self-host a resume/project WordPress site, but I don’t know much about web development. Will I be able to build a site, or at least a template, without having to learn CSS? I am familiar with C# and SQL, but I don’t want to have to learn a new language and spend a lot of time coding. What is the process of developing and hosting like? What software do I need? Is hosting a site on my personal computer safe?
Sorry for asking such noob questions, but everything I get online is guides for specific parts or tools. I need a bird’s eye view of the entire process, then I can research the specifics.
Edit: I should add the reasons I am looking at self hosting a WordPress site because it may not even be the best option. I do not want to pay a monthly hosting fee, I’m not going to make money off this site so it’s not worth a continuous cost (I don’t mind paying for a domain name that I can own). There are free options like squarespace, but I don’t want to be locked in, I want to own the website.

Absolutely easy to do. Get a template with resume style already built. You will need to update the content only.
Btw, there is no reason you cannot host on your personal computer. Technical knowledge is required to setup web server and such in this case. You will also need to figure out configuring port mapping through the router. Not big challenges if you have done installations in the past.
