We are on the same page, it seems!

For websites Siri (my girlfriend) and I make, we use Ikiwiki with the 
default html template slightly adapted but *identical* across all pages 
and all websites.  Styling is done in CSS, not baked into HTML:

For all but bsg (the oldest of them), you can get just the (s)css part 
by cloning the git URL with "/styling" as suffix.

I personally want to try wrap my head around Singularity but also 
Bourbon + Bitters.  Only Bourbon has something like Bitters, it seems, 
but if you are want skeletons only for the core parts then honestly I 
don't know which of them is "best".  Perhaps you need none of them and 
will find Susy great: That's in Debian already.

Well, I don't know either.

If you want something like Bootstrap but without the horrible dictating 
html how to be structured, then I believe Bourbon + Bitters is the most 
complete option (which means Bourbon without Bitters is the closest you 
can get without convincing upstream to extend coverage or do some 
hacking yourself).

...but as you may have realized by now, I am only guessing here :-)
