Thanks for the links above.
I know this question sounds basic, but what is the downfall of just getting wordpress up and doing a 100% custom theme? I code every day for my job, and we do 100% responsive designs using Photoshop for design and text pad to write the code. For example, the latest site I did was https://www.hvacwebsite.com (which is our site).
What is the advantage of using, say the-bootstrap theme and building on top of that as opposed to starting at ground zero?
I really appreciate the help – just don’t want to waste time starting wrong.
*Please note: I’m assuming that you can add WP modules to any theme right? Just like Drupal?
