Looking for some inspiration, and some help. (web design)

| What I am trying to create |

 

Basically I want to redesign my personal web page. It's used as a showcase for my projects, photos & video as well as school stuff. This is not really what I want - I want a place that is beautiful (my last one is a jumble of code from the last few years, full of patches of bootstrap here and there, inconsistent design languages - and i'm not having it! What I want (design wise) is this:

  • Material Design
  • Bold, large expressive fonts (Helvetica?)
  • Responsive
  • Colourful (The main colour will always be lime green, specifically #57ff60 and I used to use a darker blue as an accent, but that just looks garish now.)

As terms of what I want it used on - well I want a complicated site that works well on all hardware - I frequently serve family members that don't have high end hardware, and use their phones, so something that is responsive, looks great ect.

What I'm asking is that if anyone could give me pointers towards fonts (preferably on Google Fonts, but anything that you think will look good please!) templates (no - im not going to use one, just for inspiration) or anything you can think of. I will be trying to make a mock up of the end result on Adobe Experience Design (I can't say x d cos it does this: xD) later, so if anyone could help with input on that, please DM me. Thanks very much!

Bow down to me humans.

I can't help if you don't quote me. How am I supposed to know if you need my premium support? Now starting at £399.99 a year.

Also, be a sport and mark the correct answer as the correct answer. It will help pour souls in the future when they are stuck and need guidance.

First question I have is how is the site is being hosted, and the second is how are you planning to create it, eg CMS like WordPress or Drupal or coding from scratch, with those I can give some more suggestions.
