By the sound of your question I will guess you want to make a website for a small or medium sized organization? jQuery is probably the only "framework" you should need.

If they are selling anything on their website, it's probably going to be through a cloud hosted third party service and then it's just an embedded iframe on their website.

If you're making an entire web shop for a very large enterprise or something of similar magnitude, then you have to ask somebody else than me.

Does anyone actually still use jQuery?

Everything I've built in the past like 5 years has been almost entirely pure ES6 with some helpers like jsviews.

jQuery's still the third most used web framework, behind React and before NextJS. If you use jQuery to build Wordpress websites, you'd be specializing in popular web technologies in the year 2025.

Sure, why not? It's lightweight and works well, and there's a lot of good solutions that you can find already made for you online.

jQuery hasn’t been necessary for many years. Vanilla JS equivalents of jQuery code are well-supported.

I've seen this site linked for many years among web devs, but I just don't understand the purpose? jQuery code is much cleaner and easier to understand, and there's a great amount of solutions written for jQuery available online for almost any need you have.

The vanilla one is so much longer.
