There is a bigger problem: no search engine optimization.

Who cares about the content that can't be found on Google. For me it doesn't exist.

Solution is simple: write a bare-bone no-css no-flash (who uses that anyway?) no-nothing pure default html web page that gets displayed by everything, even text browsers, and can be spidered by Google (googlebot = text browser). Do not forget the static links that work, so bots can scan the site.

Then add css. Then add javascript which replaces blocks of the default html (in divs or html5 sections) with advanced functionality after the page has loaded. Advanced = ajax inline content replace with no reloading, animations, etc...


This is the concept I have been advocating for years, too. The argument against it I hear though is that if you build an HTML5 Application then you by default don't want it indexed by Google. Gmail should not show up in search results as these are your private emails.
