Suggestion of making website quickly on framework please

Hello,I have just completed the deep dives from here on making basic websites and learned html,CSS and javascript from deep dive.Now I want to build an website quickly rather than starting from scratch and want to use the framework to jumpstart.But I am in a confusion how should I start and which one should I use?Which thing I should use like Dreamweaver,Adobe Muse,Bootstrap,Foundation or what other things?Any helpful suggestion will be highly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

They have a course on bootstrap and foundation coming. Forget about Dreamweaver or Muse. No reason to use those programs if you're learning here.

There are many different types of frameworks, many with different features, styles, and weight to them. Frameworks can be bloated, so pick based of what you need.

Nothing wrong with building from scratch though.

Stay away from Dreamweaver, Muse and other website builders. They produce shoddy, slow code and tend to severely limit what you can do.

Bootstrap & Foundation are both great frameworks that give you some shortcuts but they're exactly that, frameworks, not website builders. It's strongly advised you apply your own styles to them, deviate from their examples and really make it your own.
