Yes.

What you can do to start is just build out all of the different templates you are going to need in pure HTML/CSS/JS and *then* migrate them over to WordPress. You’ll likely have a few templates: Home, Regular Page, Any Custom Pages, Contact Page, Blog Listing, Single Blog Post, etc.

Make sure you code all of those up and then you can turn it into a WordPress ‘theme’.
