What do you recommend?

You can use any frameworks that you have proficients with. There are several popular frameworks that you can use. Eg. React, Angular, Vue, Laravel, etc.

Basically to utilize Metronic in your custom site or application you will need some experience in end to end web development since this theme is not for non-developer users. Metronic is basically an HTML theme(built with HTML, javascript and CSS) without actual functionality(the database integration and application business model). Usually, any web applications/systems contain of 2 layers:

1) Design and Frontend UI (HTML, CSS, javascript)

2) The actual system is implemented using a server-side language such as PHP or Java, and database engines such as MySQL or Oracle.

So our Metronic theme, as an HTML theme helps you with step #1. Step #2 will be the responsibility of the buyers as every buyer has their own requirements and system specifications.
