I am very new to Pinegrow and a beginner at web dev. Is there a course on how to create a full website with Pinegrow using Bootsrap 5 and NOT having anything to do with Wordpress?! ---

Thanks Pete, but I don’t find them helpful; they’re mostly tailwind and Wordpress or very different versions of Pinegrow. ---

Did you go through the built in interactive tutorials? ![CleanShot 2026-02-13 at 12.42.02@2x](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/7/77d4827b12d21bf80d73fa2d9afbb7520af9b8dd.jpeg) This is helpful to explain things also in understanding what Pinegrow is and how to approach using it. > **[Understanding Pinegrow - Not Just a Design Tool | Pinegrow Web Editor](https://pinegrow.com/docs/getting-started/understanding-pinegrow-not-just-a-design-tool/)** > > Pinegrow is not a design tool in the same vein as Figma or Adobe Muse was. To use Pinegrow effectively, it's essential to have a foundational understanding of HTML and CSS principles. Using either the Bootstrap or Tailwind frameworks doesn’t change the foundations under them. ---

I completed the Pine Poems but the leap from that to a blank html page to making a site was too much. I REALLY REALLY want to get comfortable with Pinegrow as other web dev tools are so limiting, and I’m doing some (for me) nice stuff in VSC with css and html and a tiny bit of JS, but as someone who taught themselves every other piece of software from photoshop to xcode and final cut pro, pinegrow is so opaque and restrictive - I mean I can’t even move dialog windows outside of the main window! It’s like it’s written in 2002 Java! ---

Ah, fantastic. I have only really started to use Pinegrow since 9.0 came out - I bought it just a few weeks before 9.0 but other than being bamboozled I didn’t touch it - I went back to **blocs** to try and salvage that expense before giving up and coming over to the Light Side. Now that you’ve mentioned it I do recall the intro to 9.0 videos mentioning the two UI states, but I’ve slept since then and completely blanked it. Sorry for the ‘complaint’ that was my own ignorance; no offence was intended.
