I doubt very much that anybody can launch a website / web-app today with only user-agent stylesheets and be successful. Even for an internal product that would be seen as bad/lazy/unoptimal.

- impendia 7y agoI wouldn't agree. I'm a math professor, here's my own web site: http://people.math.sc.edu/thornef/ http://people.math.sc.edu/thornef/ Very simple static HTML. No stylesheet at all. Although there are also a fair number of academics who invest more effort in web design than I do, this type of design is fairly common in math. I haven't heard anyone within the field criticize it as "bad" or "lazy".
- whoisjuan 7y agoFor some reason I have always seen academic websites like yours as a different concept. Most academic websites look like yours and I think that’s fine. I was thinking more of something like a CMS control panel or some data-entry tool, or a consumer website like an e-commerce.
- WilliamEdward 7y agoPeople aren't coming to your website randomly, they're coming because you're their professor and they were linked this site.
