first step: starter theme and then Redux on top?

No question is dumb!

You can install the Redux plugin and place a config inside your theme. Then you can build out the fields you want. Here’s an example of a barebones config:

https://github.com/reduxframework/redux-framework/blob/master/sample/barebones-config.php

I’d also suggest using TGM to encourage the install of Redux.

Lastly, here’s something in very early alpha that should help you greatly: https://build.redux.io/alpha/dist/index.html

Best of luck!

Let me just understand one thing before you go…
looks like both the config file and that tool box allow me to create the code to create the modules in Redux dashboard, right? But if Redux creates the elements, then a theme automatically uses them?
This is where my question becomes dumb ??
(maybe all this is just beyond my basic skills)

Redux takes a PHP array and creates an interface and storage facility for you to use with your product. Basically every user interaction is controlled by Redux and you only benefit. ??

So the Redux plugin needs to be running, and then your config must be running. If that happens, you get all the benefit Redux has to offer.

I hope that makes sense.
