My name is tokyo. You’re on my brutally simple website.
No fancy animations. No bloated frameworks. No tracking. Just pure, unfiltered HTML.
This page loads faster than you can blink. No cookies. No popups. No GDPR banners. No dark patterns. Just content.
Accessible? You bet. Works on your phone, your grandma’s PC, your smart fridge, and even Lynx. No JavaScript required.
Want to copy something? Go for it. Nothing’s stopping you here.
That’s it. No newsletter. No dark mode. No distractions. Just a damn website.
And it’s exactly what it needs to be.
Honestly, what more could you possibly want?
Maybe you build sites and think yours is special. Maybe you think your 15MB homepage with spinning gradients and popups is going to win you some fancy award. Maybe you think your 50KB JavaScript bundle and 12 polyfills are impressing anyone. Spoiler: they’re not.
Let’s break down what makes a site actually good:
Here’s the truth: most sites are over-engineered. Look at this page. It’s just HTML. Why do you need a 200KB animation for a button? You spent hours on it, but nobody cares. Most people won’t even notice, and those who do probably wish your site loaded faster.
This is your ideal website, even if you didn’t realize it. Here’s why:
This whole page is lighter than a single icon on most sites. Did you really need to load a giant library just to fade in a div? Did you really need five different webfonts to say “Hello”?
You thought you needed a pile of CSS hacks to be responsive, but real responsiveness is just about not fighting the browser. This site doesn’t care if you’re on a phone, a fridge, or a terminal.
You can read it. It makes sense. It uses semantic HTML so browsers and assistive tech know what’s going on. That’s real structure.
Try it in any browser. Go ahead, fire up IE6 if you want. It’ll still work.
This is what a website looks like. Not a web app, not a digital art piece, just a site. Simple, honest, and functional.
