11ty or astro template (or none) for my site

yeah what it says in the title. sorry i keep posting it's just that i've been trying to rework an astro theme to fit my incredibly specific needs since it already has author pages, categories, tags, and a blog that can fit perfectly for my magazine site idea but the code is just so overly complicated for no reason it's driving me insane lol. i've been considering using an 11ty template more for my site since people who use it have a little more preferable themes and have an indieweb vibe i lean towards more but my qualm is that i plan on having a lot of moving parts (marquee text, a poll, and an apple coverflow ipod component thing) and the astro islands architecture is part of why i chose it so my site doesn't run like shit. idk here's my site design and mobile version to see what i should do either from a template from one of these sites or from the ground up while being a total noob at making my first "real" site.
