Is Silex a good choice for web development, or are there better alternatives?

I'm diving into web development and hoping to improve my coding skills over time. Right now, I'm mainly focused on design and want to revamp my website without relying on services like Wix or Squarespace. I came across Silex, which seems to offer what I need, but I'm worried about the lack of information available, particularly reviews and tutorials. Has anyone had any experience with Silex? Is it a trusted platform? If not, are there any open-source alternatives that are similar and user-friendly?

Unfortunately, Silex has been discontinued, and the team recommends using Symfony as a replacement. It's worth noting that Silex and Symfony are both development frameworks, while Wix and Squarespace are content management systems (CMS), so they serve different purposes. How experienced are you with PHP? If you're comfortable building from scratch, Symfony or even Laravel might suit your needs well.

Thanks for the info! I actually have no programming experience yet. I was looking for something simple with drag and drop features to create a basic static website for free. Wix and Squarespace offer that, which is why I'm a bit lost on what alternatives to use since Silex also mentioned drag and drop capabilities.
