Alternative to underscores, how to start

[ad_1]

I am an experienced non-web dev and the only webpage I did 4 years ago was a NGOs WordPress site with a theme I developed from scratch with underscores.

Now I need to make another page for my wife, but underscores seems unmaintained.

What would be good alternatives? I need some starting point that is technically good, but not bloated with useless stuff. Does it make sense to start with modifying the 2023 theme?

Additionally I might need to integrate WooCommerce at some point. Does this mean I it would be stupid to attempt something on my own and I should just buy a theme? Maybe it is just my pride as a SW developer to not want to pay 100$ a year for something I don’t fully need and could do on my own.

I do get completely lost looking at themes, frameworks and all the information seems to be targeting either complete beginners/ non devs or full webdev pros. I am somewhere in the middle as I trust myself learning almost anything reasonably fast, but I don’t know where to start, and where I would just waste my time.

Hope to find some advice here, anything is welcome
