< Get ready to hamsterization!
I do it in HTML4 with almost no styles, or if there are styles, I hide them in the HTML code, without frameworks and show-offs, otherwise it’s pretentious and banal
i do like a lot of the new css and html features, but i think the issue is less about said features and more about the fact that companies have forgotten the purpose of websites is to convey information and if you make it hard to consume the information your website is a failure.
personally i also handwrite everything i do, i do use a templating engine on my site but that's because i post daily on it so its easier then copying and pasting every page every time, but everything used by the templater is my work by hand c:
i personally enjoy it, its very calming for me, html and css are two of the few programming languages (yes i know they aren't technically turning complete) that i never feel stress in, and as much as i love the feeling of when you solve a massive problem, sometimes you don't want to solve any problems.
