If you want to just make a web site, Django is the wrong thing for you. Django is not for building web sites, it's for building web applications. You might instead want to look at Mezzanine or Django-CMS or Wagtail (these are all software for building web sites and they're based on Django), or, if being based on Django is not a requirement, you can use Wordpress or Drupal. There are really many more, there must be tens. I believe the most popular is Wordpress.
If you use any of these and install it on a server, you will only need to pay for the domain and hosting (and spend considerable time setting it up). If you use wordpress.com, they set it up for you, so you don't need to install it yourself, and the cost is probably less than getting a virtual server to install stuff yourself. I don't want to discourage you from using Django if it's for you. I just don't want you to get the impression that "Django is bad/complicated/painful" when you just might be using it for the wrong purpose.
