I'm planning to build a portfolio website for myself, but I'm unsure about the design. Should I keep it simple or incorporate animations and various effects? Can you guide me on what type of portfolio websites look professional without being too flashy?

Try asking in r/web_design
Try looking for websites that offer web design inspiration; I do that too for ideas.
My feeling is that if your portfolio stands on its own, then the site itself doesn’t need to be flashy at all.
If your portfolio is a little thin, then put more effort into making your site stand out so that the site itself is a strong piece.
