gollark: On """professional""""" sites there would be giant headers for no apparent reason, irrelevant slow-to-load images, and tons of cookie popups.
gollark: I have a 1.1KB blob of CSS styling everything and an optional user theming thing which just injects CSS.
gollark: It's small enough to practically inline so I get a performance boost.
gollark: I don't like the gibsonoformic "essentially just plain HTML" thing entirely, so I wrote mine to have a few nice things like minor changes to lists and indentation, a 40em or something limit to make it narrower on desktop for easier reading, that sort of thing.
gollark: I personally handwrite all my CSS and my stuff looks fine. If I subscribed to one of the trendy "design languages" this could be less practical.
