Building a standards-first microsite
January 2026 · 5 min read
Why “no build”?
For many websites, the best tooling is none at all. This microsite focuses on semantic HTML, responsive CSS, and progressive enhancement—skills that transfer to any stack.
Semantic structure
Landmarks like <header>, <nav>, <main>, and
<footer> help assistive technologies and make pages easier to reason about.
Progressive enhancement
The site remains usable without JavaScript. JS only adds convenience features like a mobile menu toggle and form validation improvements.
