Viewing this site on March 9? It’s not broken. The plain look is, if you’ll pardon the pun, by design. I’m taking part in Naked CSS Day. On this day, participating websites remove all styling.
What Is the Point of Naked CSS Day?
It’s to promote the correct use of semantic HTML, as explained by 2025 co-organizer Jens Oliver Meiert:
The purpose of the event is to advocate for improved maintainability through separation of concerns. Generally speaking, this is possible only if document structure is handled by HTML, and styling and design by CSS. Removing or commenting CSS code and references, as done during CSS Naked Day, leads to displaying only the document structure as governed by user agent styling of the respective HTML code, demonstrating said separation and maintainability, and appearing “naked.”
One practical benefit: by removing the CSS, I get a chance to see how my pages “look” to a search engine or a screen reader. Generally good, but there are one or two things I might work on based on the “naked” version of my site as seen on Naked CSS Day, 2025.
