Whoever said you'd have to learn how to code? If you want something
custom you will have to learn how to code (or hire somebody who does) but there are many free alternatives. Something Website.com doesn't seem to be.
If you want a portfolio site then I'm sure there are CMS made specifically for that purpose.
I Googled it and found this:
http://www.portfoliobox.net/
and this:
http://shownd.com
Perhaps either of those fill your needs?
edit: I see you use Carbonmade, why isn't it sufficient for you?
