I know. Ugh. All this crap takes up more time than I ever wanted to spend on it. Or on anything, for that matter.
I use Weebly for my professional site, which has the benefit of being cheap. ($25/year hosting) and super easy to use and update. I can make updates in seconds/minutes and broadcast those changes to all my other social media when I publish them. I maintain a blog there too (mirrored from LJ), and if you keep dynamic information on your landing page--like your twitter feed--if really helps you in Google rankings. I like weebly's stats function too, although Google analytics is another cool tool.
I've heard good things about Wordpress as well, so checking them out is probably good advice.
