Hi,
Before commenting on any solution need to understand the business that you are doing from website. For now I can say that please share any reference that you have liked so that can design prototype.
I use this development flow:
Requirement research and analysis >> Prototype Design >> Finalise design work >> Back end work as per approved design >> Front end work ( making contents and blocks dynamic ) >> Speed optimization ( if you want) >> code deployment at live server ( if you allow) >> SEO ( If you want).
It's pretty interesting job to me also i possess all required skill - HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Wordpress, PHP, my sql, server configuration ( Shared and vps).
Let's chat in detail about me, my professional history, portfolio, specs so that can proceed further.
Best Regards,
ADI.
