What's the value of "Frameworks within frameworks"?
Pro: minimizes cost in setting up libraries and other dependencies.
Cons: ties you down to the framework itself. Sometimes you can get away with not learning the underlying language (e.g., you can know more JQuery than you know Javascript itself) .
Joe's recommendation:
Always learn the underlying language (JS) before learning the framework.
Jamstack Static Pages: content is not static, layout is static.
... in HTML and vanilla JS.
Can use preset CSS (stylesheets) if you'd like. The two most popular ones are Bootstrap and Materialize:
Bootstrap - https://getbootstrap.com
Materialize.JS - https://materializecss.com
Joe - using MaterializeJS theme.
Tony - no themes; sequence: https://codepen.io/t5n/pen/oRjddm
