Less CSS Documentation
"Less CSS, better than overdose CSS"
A complete guide to intentional minimalism over framework bloat
Why Less CSS Works
Traditional CSS frameworks burden your site with 200KB+ of styles where 95% goes unused. Our entire CSS weighs just 1.8KB - that's smaller than most logos. Zero dependencies mean zero breaking changes, zero version conflicts, and zero maintenance nightmares.
Quick Start Guide
The 5-Step Transformation:
Remove animations, gradients, and decorative effects
Focus on typography, contrast, and accessibility
Test on slow connections and diverse devices
Measure performance gains and user satisfaction
Start by auditing your current CSS. Most sites can eliminate 80% of their styles without users noticing - except for the dramatic speed improvement. Focus on what matters: readable text, clear navigation, and fast loading.
What You'll Achieve
When you embrace Less CSS philosophy, you're not just removing code - you're building a foundation for sustainable web development. Your sites will load instantly even on 2G connections. Screen readers will navigate effortlessly. Your future self will understand the code immediately.
