The learning goal is simple:
- find the page you want to work on
- use a starter when it saves time

- understand where visual editing happens
- insert your first real components
- use Bootstrap basics to shape the layout
You do not need to master the HTML Editor or Bootstrap here. You only need enough to build one clear first layout and understand what to learn next.
