Do you dream of a simpler world where you could create a website with HTML and CSS only? The kind of site that web designers and SEO-experts love?

With the addition of Pages to restdb.io, it is now entirely possible and easy to create complete dynamic web sites with only HTML and CSS (almost). 
We have created a demo site/blog example using Pages. The demo site (a work in progress) can be found here: http://restdb.site. 

It is entirely hosted inside a restdb.io database and use database collections for blogposts, authors, resources and settings. It demonstrates how to create a blog post list, a blog post detail, a master layout, partials and more. 

On each page, you can click the "View Source" button in the downright corner to view the source and see how the NoSQL database queries, Handlebars templates and HTML play together. 

Happy (HTML) coding!

PS! 
If you love javascript and Ajax, don't worry! restdb.io lets you create a database with a REST API and kick-ass multi-user admin UI in minutes. This makes it very easy to create your own API-based CMS. You can use your own server or Ajax/CORS-calls to fetch data and render them with templates or your favourite Web Framework (Angular, React, Backbone, Ember etc.).
