You can always use Mongodb as an alternative of Firebase. :)
All good, Rick mate. You just need to look at Jekyll or Hugo. It will solve your problem. We're using Liquid to introduce IF statements in the markdowns. You don't really need to know Node.js or node in order to do this. Jekyll is built on Ruby, you don't need to know Ruby as well.
For example, just as you don't know how you manage your conscious doesn't mean you're not doing it, it's equally just as same as the way you're breathing without knowing how to breath. If you apply this principle, your life would become much more easier to live.
Headless with Frontend Alright, I've been stuck with such kind of cases. Now all you need is to make Shopify headless. We'll only manage orders and products inside the Shopify and not use its frontend. Now you're frontend free. You can build frontend anywhere with the API of Shopify. We've done that for multiple clients in Angular, React and VueJS. This is one way.
Headless with Frontend and some tools that helps build frontend: https://github.com/BuilderIO/builder
Headless with Static Frontend. Another way would be that you've static website that goes with headless Shopify and use the concept such as Snipcart. For example: https://stackbit-theme-planty.netlify.app/store/#/ Given this solution, you will be able to use Forestry as the backend for static website, it's pretty smooth.

Also do let me know what solution you find is better and why, be it some other solutions.
I don't think you'll need to be good at algorithms if you're going to be a frontend developer.
You will be a beginner in the market if you're learning these recently, it's totally fine for beginners to get into market and follow the best practices and still make mistakes. You'll have that experience of programming as you grow your skills and spend more time programming. Programming is just like maths, the more you do it, the more you know. It's not like you'd sit down today study all the algorithms and tomorrow it will help you save 95% of the time.
Consider it like driving. Assume you don't know driving and you sit down one day to study everything and just mastered it in your head but that doesn't help you be the best driver or somewhere near a driver with an experience of 10 years.
If you're going to be a full stack developer, be a frontend developer first. Once you explore this dimension you'll know what is your niche and you can easily target that, master it and be a full-stack developer.
Fastest and quickest way to do static HTML site which is extremely fast? Do you consider above tools or is there anything more quicker or better? This is just a one time one pager site for now, no backend required. I might have such projects in future, having something to get familiar with which can immediately come into action to develop would be great advise!
