Yes!

At first I literally couldn't believe what I was seeing - ZERO third-party bullshit in uMatrix. Not just none to unblock to make the site work - none at all!

(Apparently you can make a website without downloading Bootstrap from someone's external CDN...)

And then... oh my God, how fast the site is. I can actually feel I have a somewhat modern, powerful computer. Usual day-to-day browsing makes me forget that.

So yeah, for this reason alone I'll be using and recommending this site. Great job!

I tried doing our site like that several times but everyone just complains it's ugly... sigh

CSS and design skills have nothing to do with having JavaScript disabled.

You'd think so, but I've heard plenty of web-devs complain that sites look "ugly" just because it was built without JS. I'm not saying it makes sense, but I've definitely heard it.
