Do you have noticed that the most responsive web pages are sites without the CSS styles(or with just few rules)? I can run such web pages even on 10 year old mobile phone and also load a whole HTML document with a throttled connection to 10KB&#x2F;s quiet quick. The sad thing is that modern webdevelopers tends to forget about it. Long time ago I realized the really good way of developing a webpage is just writing down some bare HTML (maybe just a grid and typography CSS) with only grayscale colors applied -  if it will look bad then it is a bad design.<p>If we are speaking of memories of the &quot;old-ways&quot; of developing websites I remind mostly one thing - rounded corners. I remember how many web devs were trying to make a table (3x3) and put content in the center cell, and fill corners with some gifs. Nevertheless, it was not the only one method which some webmasters were using - a hacky VML file [1]<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;code.google.com&#x2F;archive&#x2F;p&#x2F;curved-corner&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;code.google.com&#x2F;archive&#x2F;p&#x2F;curved-corner&#x2F;</a>
