frameworks

I have been programming for around 6months and currently learning PHP/Mysql. I can create basic functionally sites starting from a plain sheet of paper. Is it necessary I use frameworks to create sites?

Currently, everything I do is from scratch. I'll borrow codes from old codes, ask people for help, etc. Are frameworks going to help me much more?

Is it alright if I put a site public without using a framework?

(I have not looked a lot into frameworks, so my knowledge is limited, but I'm just curious)
