Im not sure if it's legally flawless to upload the published journal article to your Website and open it up to the public. As far as i know, you're only allowed to pass it on a personal, per-request basis. This explicitly refers to the final peer reviewed article and not to the manuscript, which can make a great difference.

It’s granted individually on a personal, per http request.
Many publishers explicitly allow you to post your own articles on your personal/professional website. Some only allow "preprint" form and not the published version.
Most journals explicitly allow preprints or postprints (the final article, but without the layout of the publisher) to be posted on personal webpages.
