Ask HN: Examples of Modern Websites Using Pure HTML (No CSS, No JavaScript)

3 pointsherol3oy1y ago4 comments

For my web workshop, I’m looking for examples of modern websites that use only pure HTML (no CSS or JavaScript), like Richard Stallman’s site (https://stallman.org/).

Do you know any others? Bonus if they’re still actively used in 2025.

I think Berkshire Hathaway is the most commonly cited example of a minimalist site.

I find hilarious the presence of a small ad for car insurance. There's no little profit I guess.

Well, if it works for you, i offer my blog in a 90s style. However, i decided to remove the css, which I’ll do either tonight or tomorrow.

Oh! You even have marquee element. Nice to see that again.
