I am new to web creation and have a doubt. After learning HTML CSS Js PHM SQL Responsive design and a bunch of stuff, I realise that it seems that nobody uses it. It feels like everything is based on templates, copy-paste, frameworks... It's not that I don't like it, I just feel lost.

What should I learn next to be up to date in web creation? I need front and back functionalitlies.

Thanks a lot

If you're amateur or if you're building a very simple system then you can use a template and just 'fill it in' so to speak.

If you're building something large scale, and you find a template that is close to what you want, then you copy it and make changes to it to save time.

If you're professional and nothing really comes close enough, then you may opt to use a 'framework' such as Bootstrap (many more) to speed up your development of the layout and build in the responsive design using convenient utilities that come with it.

Why would you hand craft things like utility CSS and media breakpoints when it is already there to be used for free instantly? It's because time is money. It is important to know how it works though, that is what sets you apart from an amateur.
