of all the government sites I’ve audited in the past half of a year, the ones that have the best frontend (most accessible, most performant) are those built 20 years ago. But the devs are usually embarrassed that they haven’t kept up with “what’s new,” and I always put in extra effort to tell them “no no no, this is great. you want to look new? over lunch I’ll write 100 lines of CSS to make that happen. but this site is plain old HTML, and it is the best.”
“add some headings though.”
