Last summer, I found myself deep in the vibrant streets of Berlin, attending a small tech meetup filled with aspiring developers. During a spirited discussion over a pint, a young woman expressed her frustration with the limitations of existing WordPress themes. "I just want something lightweight and flexible to build upon," she sighed, echoing a sentiment I’d heard before. Inspired by her resolve and the buzzing energy of innovation around me, I made a mental note: there had to be a better way for beginners to start their WordPress journey.
