Apps Built with HTML5

HTML is where every web product actually begins, and on constrained connections it is also where a lot of them should end. A server-rendered HTML page with a little CSS loads on hardware and networks that a JavaScript application simply cannot reach, and for content, catalogues, informational sites and government services that reach is the entire point. Semantic markup carries real weight beyond aesthetics: it is what screen readers navigate and what search engines index, so getting it right is both an accessibility and a traffic decision. Products tagged here range from deliberately minimal sites to the HTML foundations of larger applications. If you are building for the widest possible audience across the continent, studying the products that stayed close to plain HTML is instructive. Browse them below.

Frequently asked questions

Why build with plain HTML?
Reach. Server-rendered HTML works on low-end devices and slow or intermittent connections where JavaScript applications struggle or fail.
Does semantic HTML affect search rankings?
It affects how reliably crawlers understand a page, and it determines whether screen reader users can navigate it. Both are worth getting right.
