Good recommendation for a perfect start?

Hi everyone!

Right now i have some experience in building basic websites in HTML, CSS and a bit of javascript. I’m reading a master in Webcommunication, but we are only briefly doing some coding. Therefore i’m learning to code alongside my master.

Right now i’m taking this course: https://www.udemy.com/web-developer-course/learn/lecture/2607966?start=15#overview

While i’m also following this guys building process: https://www.udemy.com/web-developer-course/learn/lecture/2607966?start=15#overview

I’m slowly getting a hang of how to build wordpress websites with a custom theme, but there are so many things i need to decide. I know what i want to build as my first project, but i’m not sure where to start. And just to clarify, i’m going to finish the course first, because i don’t know PHP yet, but i’m still doing some research in advance.

I’ve seen people using a lot of different starting solutions. What do you recommend?

  • CSS grid vs flexbox vs bootstrap?

  • Underscores.me vs Genesis? (Could be other, but just some i ran into. I’m really confused as to what you think is best. I want to become great at coding, and therefore i think i won’t get my hands dirty with themes like Divi atm)

  • Wordpress vs Kirby? (the guy on Youtube uses Kirby and it looks really nice, but i think Wordpress is a better solution. I wanna build smaller websites/webshops for clients in the future)

This is some of the things i’m a bit confused about atm. There will be a lot more coming! I hope some of you have some great tips to get started with building a custom theme for my wordpress project!

Happy Easter everyone!
