> # This is _still_ a motherfucking website.
>
> And it’s more fucking perfect than the last guy’s.
>
> ## Seriously, it takes minimal fucking effort to improve this shit.
>
> **7 fucking declarations.**
>
> That’s how much CSS it took to turn that [grotesque pile of shit](http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/) into this easy-to-read masterpiece. It’s so fucking simple and it _still_ has all the glory of the original perfect-ass website:
>
> - Shit’s _still_ lightweight and loads fast
> - _Still_ fits on all your shitty screens
> - _Still_ looks the same in all your shitty browsers
> - The motherfucker’s _still_ accessible to every asshole that visits your site
> - Shit’s _still_ legible and gets your fucking point across
>
> ### And guess what, motherfucker:
>
> You never knew it, but it’s easy to improve readability on your site. Here’s how.
>
> ## Let it breathe
>
> Look at lines 1 and 2 of some shitty website you’re building. Assuming they’re not married they probably shouldn’t be humping. The defaults are trash – pick a minimum `line-height: 1.4` for body copy. Headings should be tighter. If you can’t see that…piss off.
>
> If your text hits the side of the browser, fuck off forever. You ever see a book like that? Yes? What a shitty book.
>
> ## A little less contrast
>
> Black on white? How often do you see that kind of contrast in real life? Tone it down a bit, asshole. I would’ve even made this site’s background a nice `#EEEEEE` if I wasn’t so focused on keeping declarations to a lean 7 fucking lines.
>
> ## Size Matters
>
> I know your partner says otherwise, but it’s true. Bump that body copy to render close to 16px or more. Smaller type works well for print, not the screen.
>
> ## Line-width, motherfucker
>
> Looking at an LCD screen is strainful enough. Don’t make me read a line of text that’s 200 fucking characters long. Keep it to a nice 60-80 and users might actually read more than one sentence of your worthless dribble.
>
> ### Yes, this is _also_ fucking satire, you fuck
>
> I love what the creator of [this site’s inspiration](http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/) did. What I’m saying is that it’s so, so simple to make sites easier to read. Websites are broken by default, they are functional, high-performing, and accessible, but they’re also fucking ugly. You and all the other web designers out there need to make them not total shit.

OMG this is so cool!
