All this has certainly got me thinking, but the sheer amount of options has not lead me much closer to a choice after 3 weeks of solid reading everyday. Ive made a couple of sites with wp, I want to make a commerce one now, looked at loads of themes, none of them have the layout I want so realized Id have to customize. Discovered framework type theme builders like headway and flexible themes like divi and then looked into performance and landed here. I dont need all the glamor but I do have a specific layout in mind and above all it has to load quick, Im willing to learn a bit of code but am overwhelmed with the scale of choice against my knowledge.

Anyone have some guidance please?
