Hey, is CSS Naked Day 2020! Its the first time I am joining it, so that’s why my website displays just the browser’s default styles.

I love HTML and its semantics

Removing the visual styling forces you to focus on the content and gives you a pretty good idea of how the website appears to screen readers. The semantic structure of the content remains, you can read the text and follow the links.

It’s just for day.
