The Internet as we find it today is unfortunately a completely bloated disaster including lush JavaScript libraries.
Although modern, interactive websites with great usability can be created without JavaScript. So why do so many websites use it as an essential component - convenience, laziness, ignorance?!
In our opinion, a significant part of this is the fact that building websites is far too easy these days. Anyone can create a website in no time and without any basic knowledge. Clickety click, and something like a WordPress blog is up and running. Clickety clack and a bunch of plug-ins are integrated right along with the friendly roommate named JavaScript ;-)

It doesn't take many years of study to create a respectable website **without** this friendly neighbor, if for example one of the many **S**tatic **S**ite **G**enerators is used. They use [Markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/) as their markup language which is quick an easy to learn and also can be use with many every day tools like instantmessenger, forums, wikis, developer platforms such as [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/), [sourcehut](https://sr.ht), [GitHub](https://github.com), or [GitLab](https://gitlab.com).

So what are you waiting for? Go free your website and join the **no-JS club** which is a collection of websites that avoid the use of JavaScript and was inspired by projects like [**250KB.club**](https://250kb.club/), [**512KB.club**](https://512kb.club/), [**1MB.club**](https://1mb.club/) and the former **noJS.club**. If you want to join us please have a look at the [**FAQ**](/faq) to learn how.
We do not claim that JavaScript is a creation of Satan that shouldn't be used in general! In our opinion, equivalent results can often (**not always!**) be achieved with alternative methods.
So what are you waiting for? Free your website and join us **free of charge**. We are a collective of websites that abstain from using JavaScript.
