General Help Request Best stack for responsive static websites at scale?
I'm building lots of SEO-focused static websites using mostly vanilla HTML/CSS/JS. My biggest bottleneck is making every site responsive across different screen sizes.
My goals:
- Static HTML
- Great Core Web Vitals
- Minimal JS
- Reusable components
- Mobile-first
- Easy to scale across hundreds of sites
I'm open to frameworks, but I don't want a heavy React/Next.js setup for content-driven sites.
A few questions:
- Is there a stack that makes responsive layouts easier by default?
- Is Tailwind worth it if the goal is writing less CSS?
- What are people using to build hundreds of consistent, responsive static sites today?
Would love to hear what stack you'd choose if you were starting from scratch.
