## TL;DR; | ||
|
||
> **Is this site broken?** | ||
> | ||
> No. I decided to try an experiment with letting my website go CSS naked. It's an attempt for me to make proper use of Web Standards, HTML5, semantic markup and hierarchical structure. | ||
|
||
## My reasoning | ||
|
||
When I decided to reboot my website, I started to spend time browsing themes and designs, while I found many decent ones, there wasn't any that I felt comfortable with. I didn't have much interest in designing my own - using the latest CSS framework, with a dozen dependencies. I was getting bogged down with the style/presentation. | ||
|
||
I wanted to bring my focus back to content; _I wanted to take back my website!_ | ||
|
||
I decided to leave the CSS out of it, forget about JavaScript and web-fonts, let's focus on using HTML, pure and simple, structural and semantic. The added bonus is that my website would be accessible, responsive, lightweight and fast! | ||
|
||
Will this look pretty? No! Default browser styles suck - at least that's what we're told. Although I'm sure that people who visit my website aren't looking for a good design, they should want the content, so now I can present it in the most accessible way. | ||
|
||
|
||
### What will the future hold? | ||
|
||
In time I may introduce some styling, tweak the viewport width or apply a reasonable typography, but for now I'd like to focus on the semantics of the markup - to lay a solid foundation to build on. | ||
|
||
As for JavaScript, previously I would automatically add in Google Analytics, but truth be told, I hardly study my traffic or data these days. It doesn't motivate me. | ||
|
||
I'm likely to reintroduce the Disqus commenting system very soon. | ||
|
||
In the meantime, if you have any questions for me, either [tweet me](https://twitter.com/leekelleher) or [raise an issue on my GitHub repo for this website](https://github.com/leekelleher/leekelleher.com/issues). |
