Building your first smolweb page

A simple news article that takes ten seconds to load and eats 50 MB of data. You've seen that. We all have. Mountains of JavaScript, giant CSS frameworks, third-party trackers, custom fonts pulled from remote servers... all of that to display a few paragraphs of text.

The smolweb pushes back against that...

@adele thank you for writing this blog post! I've run my small web website through the validators and got a list of things to fix
@adele this is such a nice guide! I know basic html but have been dragging the chain on actually breaking out of wordpress. All talk no action lol.

@bluetea
I recommend to use Hugo with the #smolweb theme ;-)

@adele Is there an online example where this could quickly be previewed? (I'm not familiar with hugo yet, so setting up a site with it would take some time, and I assume that someone is using it publicly anyway).
