Why don't we instead make use of a proper framework both on

I would suggest you avoid frameworks since they go out of
fashion fairly quickly and makes maintenance dependent on
individuals (with framework knowledge). jQuery adds little
value since browsers are fairly standards-compliant these days,
IMO.
Everybody calls everything a framework these days.
Bootstrap or PureCSS are just a bunch of CSS helper classes to
quickly model a responsive and modern site. I would definitely
use them. Besides, any web developer worth his salt knows one or
the other. And with all the tutorials they got, it is not hard to
learn them either.
Agree about jQuery. Its practically dead.
It would also look very bad if you cannot run dlang.org on D
tech. I suggest using dlang.org for driving phobos
implementation/binding of standard w3 web tech. No point in
having D marketing other languages or their frameworks.
Yep, run the site on vibe.d, I think this is what everybody
wants. Besides, vibe.d is already compiling all the html files.
Let HTML5 layout design be a group effort and then let 1-2
individuals (who know what they are doing) do the CSS styling
from scratch after you have the HTML5 ready.
While markup and styling are supposed to be orthogonal, in
practice they rarely are. With some styling it works (like
paragraphs, headers), other parts just require a coupling between
html and css.
You cannot just take some old HTML, apply some css styles and
have a modern site. A lot of times you have to change the order,
the nesting of elements or apply wrapper elements to achieve a
certain look.
