What if the "modern" web is overly complex for most use cases? I'm sharing a project, a website for a product studio "Bearle", that was built on what I'd call a "2025 Stack" - a return to simplicity.
It's a fully functional single-page application built with:
No React, Vue, or Angular.
No Webpack, Vite, or Parcel.
No npm or bun.
Just plain old HTML <template> elements and vanilla JavaScript to handle routing and dynamic content. The result is a website that is incredibly fast, easy to deploy, and simple to maintain.
Have we gone too far with our complex toolchains? For many projects, is a simple, no-build, no-framework approach like this one a more sensible choice?
