Beautiful all right, but why do this?:

* {

    box-sizing: border-box;

    -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;

    -webkit-user-select: none;

    -moz-user-select: none;

    -ms-user-select: none;

    user-select: none;
}

No text on the site is selectable but this is a terrible thing to do. Not cool at all.

That's commonly done for interactive experiences or games where fast clicking selecting text or elements would be aggravating.
