Default HTML is already responsive. What are you adding to break it on mobile?

(Of course, really old HTML that uses table based layout has problems.)

Nothing needs to be changed because it’s not a responsiveness problem. The font is tiny because the page was designed for a far wider screen than a phone. A little css could fix it: collapse the two columns of links into one when on a narrow screen.
Sure, that's how to fix the BRK site. But I was replying to your comment:

If you start from unstyled HTML it works. My question is what are you adding in your development process of making simple websites that breaks it for phones?
