This is awesome, thanks! I've updated my personal homepage just a few days ago, and it was difficult to google the simplest way to make the layout responsive.

This was, because answers often involved adding some overbloated framework to my homepage that was supposed to solve all problems.

After two days of googling arround I arrived at very simple HTML + CSS, like you are describing, and did not need kilobytes of "CSS frameworks".

The same applies to Javascript, and it is even worse there. People are using big, big frameworks everywhere, and I wonder if it would not be much easier to do it in plain Javascript. On stackoverflow it is really difficult to find an answer that does not require at least jquery. Are people aware of how to do things in plain javascript, and choosing the frameworks deliberately?
