Hi Winter, Wordpress you wont have to create or code a theme as loads are available. I am even willing to contribute a premium paid theme i purchased for your use as its really highly customizable and loads of premade layouts and easy to create new page layouts with WPBakery. This is a drag and drop element system you then just need to add info etc that you want to that element.
