What? HTML is dirt simple. There are some fiddly bits, but if you are creating simple documents (like this one) you don't need them — just use the subset of HTML that you are comfortable with.
> HTML is generally unkind to people of limited hearing, vision, etc.
Only if you mess it up. Clean and simple markup is usually pretty accessible.
But really, this page is 1.4 MB of code for less than 20 KB of text (300 ms to load!). You want the 'cheap' and simple web, then set an example.
- bimguy 3y agoI agree with your disagreements. I am really bad with any coding, I have tried to learn Python and CSS several times now and can't remember a single thing. At the age of 12 I was easily able to learn HTML to build functional websites. Despite not having written a website in HTML for over 15 years I am still confident that I would be able to build a website using HTML code only right now. How is that hostile to beginners when it was the only language that I could ever grasp? Are there coding language out there easier than HTML?
