Years ago I had a simple blog site hosted by 1&1. Because dynamic layouts are so expected to keep pages modern, I found it's often a hassle to go static because web hosting platforms often come with WordPress or some templating engine.

I wish I knew a way around this because my knowledge of web design is incredibly small and I intend to keep it that way.

Just copy the CSS from http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/

Anything else is probably overkill.


Thanks, this is great. There’s so little CSS that is actually needed to make a modern looking page. Template engines have tricked us so badly.


If you use sane markup, modern browsers have "reader mode" that will take care of presentation for the most part.

If you don't want to learn web design, you don't have to learn web design. Keep creating and serving sensible html pages and you will be alright.
