Is it possible to create a QGIS workspace with pre-loaded layers, styles and print templates with Python?

Question

I am building a python tool which aggregates data from a number of sources and generates some web-maps from this data. I was wondering if it is possible (maybe using PyQGIS) to create a QGIS3 workspace in a specified directory with the layers and styles pre-loaded?
