Hi Ramon. It depends on what your choice is. With Gridsome they are starters you can choose from and in no time you have a blog running.

But you'll still need to know how to find your way around the code if and when you need to customize it to fit your needs.

Shameless Plug: I made a starter and I think it'll suit you if you want to create a blog with minimal design. gridsome.org/starters/minimal-starter

TL;DR: Yes, if you can find a starter you like


With something like Gridsome, you can spin up a starter and use that as your starting point and customize it from there.

If you're migrating from Wordpress, you can even hook your site up to pull information from WordPress and use that as your backend (assuming you find a starter you like - although there appears to only be 1 Wordpress starter currently on Gridsome's list [linked below])!
