  I don't think it's that bad. Why would you lie about yourself on an interview? An interested employer is unlikely to drop you because you are also proficient in, say, Final Cut. The question is, how do you get to the interview? It's simple: if a potential employer or client needs a Java programmer, they are likely to look for a “Java programmer”. Therefore, if you have a website that says “John Doe, Java programmer”, you seem more likely to get that job than if you only have a website about some John Doe that has Java listed somewhere among his multitude of skills. Your website is probably made for other people. In that case, optimize it for other people. It seems easier for them when they can “classify” you. People who could appreciate your complex personality are your friends (and maybe family), but are they probably are outside the target audience of your website.
