I host my blog using plain HTML and I have a compile step - a Python script that converts markdown to HTML, which minimizes the energy I spend on... wrapping everything in HTML tags?

Same, except I skipped Python and went with bash (https://gist.github.com/lelanthran/2634fc2508c93a437ba5ca511... if you're curious).

If I had to do it again, I'd go with Python, but because it started off as a small 5 line shell script I thought "Why bother with Python?".

If you have a business website, customers expect a clean site with good visuals and a great user experience. Unless you are as big as Amazon. Sadly overengineering things is a necessary evil nowadays. If I had the choice I wouldn't even build websites mobile friendly but well... got no choice.

Hey, customers are people too, and they can and will say "no", too. "good looking" doesn't do it when it cannot do basic things.
