Emergency Website Kit
summary
An emergency website kit is a static HTML starter that prioritizes resilience and accessibility by choosing simplicity over complex stacks, using 11ty to generate pages, inlining and purging CSS with htmlnano and PurgeCSS, and registering an offline cache via Workbox service workers with skipWaiting and timestamps to avoid stale content. It targets a 14 kilobytes first-round-trip budget, hits ~4 ms first render on 4G and ~2.3 s on slow 3G, enforces ARIA landmarks, rem sizing and AA contrast, and offers one‑click deployment and editing via Netlify CMS.
