Start again with PW, CSS suggestions

[olivetree]

Hi

After a break dominated by Must-WP and Publii with ProcessWire, I finally found my way back. 
a. Which profile would you choose for a website with a blog inside?
b. Which CSS framework would you recommend for me a good start, I will build upon pagegrid page builder?  

Merci.

Hi

welcome back to paradise 😄

In my case, let's keep it simple.

- blank profile for all sites
- and generally speaking, no CSS framework.

sorry, I realize that's a bit brief...
let me elaborate a little, i used bootstrap a lot which once was a good selling point for agencies: “the website will be responsive with bootstrap” boom, sold...
i still use it sometimes, but more for tools made up of forms and tables. In that case, i use purge.js and end up with a bootstrap of about 30 kb.

today, the trendy selling point would be tailwind, for me, no way!!! 😄 i love css too much (scss for me) and clean HTML without 20 utility classes per tag.
In the semantic vs. utility class debate, let's say I'm 90-95% semantic and 5-10% utility (my own little scss "framework" easy to modify and override without !important everywhere).

well, I'm not sure if any of this is very useful 🙂 but the idea is simple: processwire offers so much freedom in coding, the least i can do is taking full advantage of it so, starting point... bare pw 🙂

have a nice day

Paradise 😉 Indeed, it's really beautiful here. 

@virtualgadjo Thank you very much for your explanations.  In fact, your approach is very exciting and quite different from what I would have expected.  The fact that you don't use a pre-packaged CSS “framework” for your design and visuals seems very extensive to me at first, until you have put together your own preferences and classes. Personally, I find utility classes helpful (i.e., I'm at 30-50%), but I understand your point and position very well. Until now, I didn't assume blank profile but rather the site-regular based on UIkit.

It would be interesting to know what others are doing and what they think and suggest.
