  * Avoid custom fonts. You probably don't need a custom font. Just use system fonts. Using built-in fonts will allow your site to load faster. * Getting a "nice layout/theme" is a design problem. I'd suggest following someone's style guide. I'm fond of the U.S. Web Design System [0] since it's lightweight and accessible. Disagree with their suggestion to use a custom font. * Keep the layout as simple as possible, with a focus on content. You can go incredibly far with semantic HTML and a smattering of CSS. I don't think it requires a deep-dive. [0] https://designsystem.digital.gov/ https://designsystem.digital.gov/

  I know this is controversial but the default html layout is what most people need. You can use markdown or org mode etc. to generate it. One improvement may be centering the content on bigger displays, which I do for my blog with two @media rules as follows: https://www.gkayaalp.com/style.css https://www.gkayaalp.com/style.css
