The first question shouldn't be "what tools will I use?" but "what tools do I need?" You can build a fantastic website with just a bit of HTML and CSS. Maybe a tiny bit of JS is needed? Fine. Nobody (including the client) cares what's on the backend. People build perfectly fine websites without any JS frameworks/libraries at all, so while they may facilitate doing certain things, they aren't needed for building a website generally.
Given your skills, using React with Next.js is a strong option for building a modern, performant website while reinforcing your recent learning. If you prefer a faster, visual approach, Webflow is great for quickly creating professional sites. For security, ensure input validation, HTTPS, environment variables, and regular updates.
