The Benefits of Classless CSS Frameworks

Published on by Luke Heyburn

Classless CSS frameworks are like those friends who bring wine to your dinner party without being asked. They make everything better without requiring extra work.

They're perfect for:

  • Quick prototypes
  • Content-focused websites
  • Blogs and documentation
  • Projects where you want to minimize CSS complexity

By using semantic HTML and letting the framework handle the styling, you create more maintainable and accessible websites.

Typography

Words, but fancier.

Heading Level 1

Heading Level 2

Heading Level 3

Heading Level 4

Heading Level 5
Heading Level 6

This is a standard paragraph. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, which is Latin for "I forgot to write actual content." Designers have been using this placeholder text since the 1500s, proving that procrastination is timeless.

Bold text for when you're really serious and italic text for when you're being sarcastic. You can also use links which have proper hover states and indicate if they open in a new window.

This is smaller text, perfect for legal disclaimers nobody reads.

Code can be displayed inline with code tags or in blocks:

Pre without code

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
This text is preformatted,
And this poem is too.

Pre with code

// This function says hello
function greet(name) {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

console.log(greet('World'));

Inline code in a paragraph

When writing about programming, it's often useful to include inline code snippets within your text. For example, const is used to declare constants in JavaScript, or that the <body> tag contains the main content of an HTML document.
