I don't want any of those JS-laden pages which load with: "We're sorry but this doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled. Please enable it to continue." Urgh. No thanks. For org, a simple static page of HTML + CSS seems perfect, with perhaps the odd feature using JS - like copy code block buttons. > I would suggest though if you can use an Org-based html theme to > improve the site, that might be useful.

I'll see if I run into issues with an org-export based site. > I recently tried a read-the-docs theme exported from Org and > found it very nice, and nearly zero difficulty to integrate. > That surprised me. If you want another example, check out my config ;) --- https://tecosaur.github.io/emacs-config/config.html It's less light weight than what I'm conceptualising, but it's just produced by org-html-export-to-html ... with a few tweaks (ok, a lot). > Getting an Org site theme into core that'd do that, and make the > website export from that template could be a good idea.

As I said earlier, I see no reason for the Org site to be much more than a simple static page ... just in need of a bit of massaging into a more aesthetically pleasing shape. ----- While this may seem like a relatively minor pursuit in the scheme of things, it is (or at least was in my case) the landing page for the feature that can draw one into Emacs. For the sake of curious individuals who aren't sure what to expect, I think it's worth some effort to make their first impression lean more towards "Org is a novel and exciting format, ahead of it's time" than "Org is some old and crufty format that hasn't received much love" :P While obviously that goes far beyond the styling of orgmode.org, I do honestly think that it plays a part. All the best, Timothy.
