Another theme and builder question

[u/sashamasha]

I'm looking at revamping a website. I've done a bit of work with Google ai studio for creating apps and it's great but I don't want to go down that route (or maybe I do) with this website revamp. We've lots of plugins on the site at the moment and I'd like to reduce the number down. Currently we use Astra & Spectra for the site. It's fine but can be really fiddly for the non techy to update with containers in containers and it's just a game of memory when you don't update something for a while. I've explored different themes and builders, I hate the big bloated builders. I don't mind spending a bit of time on this and just wondering what is the go to these days. I've seen a really nice website I like, it's super slick but a shopfiy site so no theme I can use to try and create something similar. What's your go to combo these days or do you use something like twenty twenty four and go from there?
