The Best Open-Source Tools & Frameworks for Building WordPress Themes - Speckyboy
Briefly

WordPress theme development has evolved into two distinct paths: traditional 'classic' themes, which rely on CSS, HTML, JavaScript, and PHP, and the newer block themes that emphasize browser-based design without coding. While classic themes are still dominant, block themes are gaining popularity and utilize a theme.json file for styling. Key tools like Create Block Theme, TypeRocket, and Gantry help developers efficiently build and customize themes, whether they prefer a classic approach or are exploring innovations in block-based design.
Block themes move design and development into the browser, offering a plugin called Create Block Theme for creating custom themes within WordPress.
TypeRocket saves you time by including advanced features in its framework, allowing creation of post types and taxonomies without extra plugins.
Gantry is notable for its compatibility across multiple CMSs like WordPress, Joomla, and Grav, providing a flexible theme development option.
Classic themes continue to thrive in WordPress theme development, yet block themes are emerging as a new approach emphasizing browser-based design.
