_s VS sendgrid-nodejs

I tried a lot of themes, in my experience GeneratePress is the fastest, unless you decide to go fully custom and go with _s (but it will be a lot of dev work).

If you've got dev chops in PHP, then Underscores is a good "starter" theme to build your theme off. It looks after a lot of the WP related stuff, letting you focus on the template/HTML/JS/CSS stuff.

Just to add since your new to WordPress and want to save a bunch of time you can use this springboard of a theme that's designed to be turned into what you want and saves hours of time. Underscores

Underscores is likely your best bet.

I would say underscores. I believe it’s by the Automattic team https://underscores.me

I used PHP, JavaScript, and a little bit of Python. I think themes are pretty easy you should try out _s which is a theme template for WordPress and there are similar things for plugins. I learned from this youtube series which is really good -> Wordpress Plugin Developement.

Underscrores or GeneratePress.

Sendgrid, Mailgun, or Postmark are great solutions if you have a need for transactional emails that are technical. I still prefer using Customer.io for this need. If you’re unsure what transactional emails are, check out this guide.

Email is sent via an event. I have a Lambda function triggered off an EventBridge rule in my serverless toolbox that will send an email via SendGrid. This allows me to reuse that functionality across all my projects, once again minimizing the amount of resources I have allocated in the cloud.

SendGrid

You could consider to use some email delivery service like Mailgun or Sendgrid. They offer free tiers and their servers are more accepted than some random self-hosted server.
