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.
