## What it is
Simple.css is a lightweight, mostly classless CSS framework that makes semantic HTML look good out of the box. At around 10KB minified, it lets developers build good-looking websites quickly without learning a large framework like Bootstrap.

## Use cases
- style a plain HTML site without writing CSS
- quickly prototype a good-looking website
- replace heavyweight frameworks like Bootstrap for small projects
- make semantic HTML look good with no classes
- start a personal blog or simple site with minimal styling effort

## When to choose
- you want a tiny (~10KB) drop-in stylesheet for semantic HTML
- you're building a small or personal site and don't need a full component framework
- you want to avoid learning a complex framework's class system

## When to avoid
- you need a rich component library or utility-class system
- you're building a complex app requiring advanced layout and theming
- you need to support legacy browsers like IE11
