If you've been unlucky enough to sort through hundreds of resumes and make hasty decisions on who to spend time on, as a constraint of time and the volume of candidates, you have to make ridiculously judgmental and often wrong decisions because you need to say no to over 95% of them.
A site like this would be ok if the domain was say blahblah.(mit|stanford|caltech|something-fancy).edu/blahblah and linked to their scholar page but outside of that, probably not.
If you want a personal page and you're not a designer, just use a template from a site like https://html5up.net/ and replace the images and copy. If the site was say https://html5up.net/astral ... not only do all my objections flutter away but now there's a small checkmark in the "interested" column.
Know what the people on the other end are tasked with and feed them what they're looking for.
