Sorry I am new to WP and find it a bit confusing.
I have a few years of full-stack development and and comfortable creating web application from scratch.
What I am trying to do is edit my friends [wordpress.com]) site. I was looking through the options in [wordpress.com]) and only found the themes code to edit. I want to purely edit the html, css, javascript.
I am trying to re-do their web page from scratch using Bootstrap CSS, Jquery, Javascript and other Javascript libraries.
Is this even possible to do on [wordpress.com]) ? How do I go about creating custom pages. Can anyone point me to some articles or give a simple answer.
Appreciate your time in advance.

There is no pure html page to edit. All content is dynamically generated. Theme development is *exactly* what you’re looking for, including page templates.
Your options are more limited on [wordpress.com]) than if you install it yourself. You won’t be able to upload Bootstrap pages there. As I recall you can’t even edit functions.php which makes it difficult to write custom functionality.
I would use AWS Lightsail for something like this. It’s real cheap and you get a year for free.
You have to create your own theme to be able to do that, look into the the documentation where it talks about page heirarchy I think its doable but limited.
Unlike without wordpress you can create your own routes in wordpress there is also a predefined pages.
