Fully customized intranet website
Riccardo Amadi Below are things you need to explore:
1. SharePoint Home Sites This will be rolled out in Q3. So you cannot act on this now, but you can do some preparatory work using below resources.
2. https://sharepointlookbook.azurewebsites.net/ This will give you ideas & possibilities in SharePoint.
3. https://spdesign.azurewebsites.net/: Guidance on branding
Riccardo Amadi There are some great responses by others about using the out of the box features. However, if you don't like the out of the box look and feel on that page, you could look into building a "Single Part App Page" for SPFx.
This allows you to build a single web part that runs within the entire page, using full width. This means you could essentially build a SPA for your home page.
Have a look here.

Also, not sure which tool bars you mention about hiding... but hiding the native SharePoint tool bars as you've mentioned is not advisable or supported.
Hi Beau Cameron,
I wasn't happy with oob solutions (might be because I didn't fully grasp them yet). SPAPs with SPFx at this moment are my best options (including bootstrap for the layout) but I read that with this approach (as you pointed out) Microsoft didn't like the removal/hiding of the native o365 bar. Also add that SPFx is always mentioned as a web part building process so I'm not confident it's the best solution for full page apps.
After reading about Home Sites however I think I should keep running this road (SPAPs with SPFx) while as soon as I can harness Home Sites I should probably switch to that recycling my SPFx solution as web parts in there. (You guys are welcome to confirm or dissuade me on this)
- I would, personally go with this. That would be fully supported and a modern way to do this.
Best, Chris
