QuestionWeb Development Architectures - Smaller projects/Security Pin

So I've been in hyperdrive learning ASP.NET MVC, Web API, CRUD operations, REST calls, Entity Framework, SQL, LINQ, jQuery, and more about unit testing and TDD, and I am now able to set up a database back-end and currently working with using web APIs to send JSON to be rendered client-side for a quicker user experience and less server resource usage...

My question is a lot of that stuff seems to be for significant size projects. What do web devs typically use to make a site that doesn't require a database platform? For example, I want to make a simple portfolio website with business information about me and some sample projects... I have no need for an account system, shopping cart, userbase, etc... I could even hard-code the page content frankly... Is there a benefit to using a MVC and database-backed system for such a site still or is that overkill? What technologies are typically used on simple (but modern, of course) websites? I'm thinking Bootstrap, HTML, and CSS at the very least but I'm not 100% sure what frameworks may be used.

Last but not least, what's the low-down on security in web development? I keep hearing people making comments telling other developers to use a CMS "for security reasons." But if we use other peoples' CMS, how will we learn to make our own CMS?

Thanks for your insight and I apologize for my ignorance, I only started coding this past May and am very happy to have learned this much but am at the stage now where I want to apply my knowledge above and beyond course exercises and assignments.
