At the beginning
At the beginning of Web Programming, programmers were using HTML, CSS, and JS for static sites (this is and now true), and with PHP and MySQL for dynamic content. It was a time consuming procedure and difficult to create APPs, Menus and specific apps. So this lead to the creation of frameworks.
Frameworks
Then we have the creation of Frameworks
CSS Frameworks like Bootstrap and more
PHP Frameworks like Laravel, CodeIgniter, Sympony. CakePHP, WordPress and more
JS Frameworks like Vue JS, React JS, Angular JS and more
A PHP Framework has summary commands and extra functionalities, and is faster to develop PHP Apps using a PHP framework that to write in vanilla PHP ( But in the last case you can create your own framework libraries.
WordPress is . also. a CMS and a PHP Framework to develop applications.
