TIP #1: Use Vue.js

In all seriousness, generally you can use Bootstrap or similar to make a fairly good website quickly. I threw together climatemirror.org in a few hours.

What's your rational for preferring Vue over React?

Ease of use, time to pick up, docs, "hype" vs functionality, extensibility, which one of them had IDE support (Vue because it's not a new language), which one of them seemed the most sane. Those are what come to me off the top of my head, Vue is also faster (if it matters in a web app...) and can really be used as just a component if needed (without a need to learn a new language and use every precompiler under the sun).

I will note it doesn't have the same tooling, but since it's plain JavaScript so it's not a huge problem.
