Thank you
I recommend you learn how to create a WordPress theme. A WordPress theme handles how the content you enter in the Dashboard gets displayed to visitors.
I recommend you take a look at The Theme Developer Handbook from WordPress.
Here's a formal tutorial if that suits you better: WordPress Development for Beginners: Building Themes
Good luck!

So I have been working on a news page for website using Bootstrap Studio (I am new to all of this, only have been using html, css, and a tiny bit of js), and I was just creating individual html pages for each article and manually adding them to a list of articles on a news page. I started looking into it and found the a CMS may be a perfect solution so that I dont need to manually create these pages and can just "create" them in a CMS and somehow import them to my website.
So here is my goal, I want to just have some "recent News" blocks display the most recent articles image and title, as well a dedicated "news" page that displays every article. Also, I want the articles to be displayed on my website, as opposed to linking to an external page.
Is this at all possible, and if so, where would be the best place to start.
I appreciate any and all advice.
If your website is primarily a blogging styled website, my recommendation would be to convert your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files over to WordPress.
There is a free template called HTML5Blank which allows you to completely style your site with your own HTML and CSS.
Here is a great tutorial.
I'm trying to teach myself more about web design and development by recreating my WordPress portfolio Site, and I eventually want to completely replace my site with this new one. I've done my research and taken a few classes on it, but I had a few general questions:
How would I make the blog section? Would I still want to use something like a WordPress database, or would I be creating all of that from scratch? Are there other tools you'd recommend?
What would you recommend for storing data for the portfolio grid? On my current website each entry is a post type, though that's through WordPress.
I've noticed a lot of WordPress themes have very similar functionality, and many of them use Bootstrap. Is there something the equivalent to a library that these themes use for things like landing pages, post grids, ect?
If you even just had a few links to throw at me to point me in the right direction, that'd be great. I've searched around, but haven't found too much.
EDIT: To clarify, I'm attempting to recreate my WordPress website in HTML using Bootstrap.
How would i make the blog section?
If you are using wordpress, well, you don't have to, wordpress have a Post section specified for blogs.
Would I still want to use something like a WordPress database, or would I be creating all of that from scratch?
Yes, if you are using wordpress, they have their own database, it's not suggested to modify it at all. But if you are not using wordpress, you have to design your database from scratch and either use a database system like MySQL or MSSQL etc.
What would you recommend for storing data for the portfolio grid? On my current website each entry is a post type, though that's through WordPress.
Again, if you are using wordpress, there's probably a plugin you can install to show your portfolio, the database table is automatically created when you install the plugin.
I've noticed a lot of WordPress themes have very similar functionality, and many of them use Bootstrap. Is there something the equivalent to a library that these themes use for things like landing pages, post grids, ect?
Well, Bootstrap is a popular frontend framework, that's why alot of sites use it. No there's no equivalent libarary these themes use, the equivalent libarary is Bootstrap, and then you customize your landing pages, post grids, etc with your own css/script.
If you even just had a few links to throw at me to point me in the right direction, that'd be great. I've searched around, but haven't found too much.
Look up different themes and templates here if you need it, there's wordpress specific themes too Themeforest
Hoping someone can help me. I have built myself a webpage and now i need a CMS for it .
The webpage is made by me entirely (not a WordPress theme or anything), the question is can WordPress be used for it as a CMS only and how? If not what is the best way to "bind" CMS to my webpage?
Thanks
Wordpress is a opensource and freely available platform where you can build your own website by using their themes as well as you can create your own theme or child theme.
You first need to understood your requirement and then decide to use any available theme or creates your own new theme. If you want to use your own webpage which you have created then create a new theme and use that code in new theme.
For creating a new theme please chek below link.

I am new to WordPress theme development.I need to know how to convert an html page to wordpress theme completely with theme option and how to create widgets for themes.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
The best way to start developing themes is to look at the way existing themes are build and to look at the WordPress codex (as Marc suggested). If you follow the WordPress standards and get used to the system, WordPress is a very flexible platform for building websites.
Another thing: Google is your best friend :) Almost everything you want to do with WordPress has already been asked on Google.
Good luck!
Their are alot of tutorials online but I suggest starting with something simple like this free program from http://www.wpsiteconvertor.com/
Basicaly the whole gist of creating a wordpress theme (lets say you have one page and a style file) you would have to seperate that page into like 5 files minimum header.php, footer.php, index.php,you would also need to make style file changes and add a functions.php file. But take a look at that program above and you will see what kind of codes are added to a site to make a wordpress theme work.
I am currently developing static websites with bootstrap. However, I would like to try create some non-static websites so the client can update simple texts by themselfs.
What kind of tool would you recommend me to do so with? I would still like to use bootstrap for structure and design.
Thanks in advance!
What you're talking about is using a CMS (Content Management System). There are a number of ways to approach using Bootstrap's framework with a CMS.
One simple CMS you could offer your clients would be CushyCMS: https://www.cushycms.com. CushyCMS allows you to specify editable regions within an HTML file and a client would only be able to edit those areas. This is great if you want to leave most of the website static, but allow them to change a few things in there.
If you wanted to use Wordpress, there is a Bootstrap 3 theme for Wordpress located here: http://johntransue.net/bootstrap-3-wordpress-theme/. Wordpress is a much more complicated CMS, but it has a lot of power and capability. If you take some time to master Wordpress, you can use this basic Bootstrap 3 theme plus Wordpress and develop dynamic sites using Bootstrap.
