Web development

I'm an ex-pro webdev specialising in CSS, HTML and web accessibility, I've been building websites for 30+ years and still enjoy learning so I experiment with code for a hobby.

Open source

Three alternative CSS systems for designing websites that each take a different approach to how the styles are written and configured for customizing. All are shared on GitHub under a MIT license for public use.

Ming-CSS

Released
April 2026
Website
https://ming.pmbrown.net
Repository
https://github.com/pmbrown/ming-css

Ming-CSS is a customizable, color-scheme friendly style sheet that provides the basic building blocks for web content design making heavy use of CSS nesting to keep the code extremely compact and lightweight. The demo website showcases the styles included with HTML examples and usage instructions where required.

StyleMods

Released
April 2025
Website
https://stylemods.com
Repository
https://github.com/pmbrown/stylemods

StyleMods is a library of content reset styles, color variables, utilities, components, layout styles and responsive modifiers ready to use and customize as standalone Sass modules in custom CSS. It requires compiling with Dart Sass and comes with a thorough documentation website explaining how to use and customize the styles.

Themalize

Released
June 2024
Repository
https://github.com/pmbrown/themalize

Themalize provides content resets, color variables, components and basic layout utilities ready to use as CSS assets, or recompiled using Sass in a traditional framework with global configuration and property documents for customizing. I stopped updating Themalize so it's shared as-is without documentation.

More information

I write CSS for fun and share any project I feel might be useful for someone else. I use Hugo as a development platform to do this and to build the websites shared above. If you have any questions or you'd like to get in touch about collaboration on a project I'm happy to respond to any email sent to the address below.
