For personal sites use classless CSS framework: https://github.com/dbohdan/classless-css

I have used water.css, simple.css and Tufte.css and all of them are great.

Super cool, love how they can be used for prototypes to cover that gap from "CS professor's plain HTML website with a 1998 copyright notice" to "fiddling with margin and padding values". BareCSS in particular looks so nice I would never have believed it uses no classes or styles! https://github.com/longsien/BareCSS

nice, i’m building a personal css framework that builds on top of a classless base that is similar to bare.css, so i’ll have to go raid it for ideas like how/where it employs grid and flexbox. =)

ps - looks like they use some non-standard html elements and attributes to be completely classless. that's ok, but not generally what i'd want, though i'm quite tempted by the non-standard 'grid' tag.

The guide is aimed at non-tech people. Using any kind of framework is missing the point.

No classes means that you just write plain html. I think non tech people could deal with adding a single script tag and having everything just work.
