Answer 1

Bootstrap is very simple to make the best websites responsive and make very simple to learn.

You can manipulate wherever you want.

Next you can use the JQUERY and AJAX in this for develop a website more interative.

Answer 2

I agree with duffymo in that you should be very careful in what work you take on. If you're asking this question you likely have quite a lot of research to do.

That being said, in addition to bootstrap (as Paulo mentioned) I enjoy using Google's Material Design Lite library. Their grid is as easy to use as Bootstrap's and it gives you the currently-popular material design feel.

If you'd rather not use something so heavy then give flexboxes a shot. They're native to css3 but may have issues if you have to support a lot of older browsers.

And use the Balsamick to create a prototype for your website/application
