This challenge doesn't make any sense. The results of this challenge would include a range of really bad code submissions that do not demonstrate skill or innovation. These results would include any of the following: - Vanilla web pages using the default styles of the browser. - The use of deprecated elements and bad practices of HTML4 (as mentioned by Martin Taylor). - A mess of redundant, explicitly applied inline styles throughout the HTML document. There is no doubt this could be done. However, what skill is being enhanced or demonstrated with such a challenge? Challenges are a great way for people to discover better, creative, and more efficient ways of implementing solutions. This would serve no such purpose. Rather, it would be quite the opposite. All said, I like the idea of suggesting a CSS challenge. There aren't enough of those on SoloLearn. However, I recommend creating challenges that involve good practices that others can review and learn from.

Firstly, HTML is all about structure. Technically, HTML tags already have styles attached. Sure creating a page that does not use html may look boring to some but take into consideration that "Form Follows Function" (Louis Sullivan, 1930) and "Content is King" (Bill Gates, 1996). Both of these famous statements pretty much say, the message is in the content. Get that sorted first and don't let your pretty interface be distracting from what the actual function of the page is. The idea of the challenge I think is great as firstly, it will encourage people to learn the proper tags to use. Eg. Using the correct heading tags for proper structure. Secondly, there are media types that cater for those who are vision/audio impaired and using correct tags enables text readers to read your pages. Thirdly, if for some reason the CSS does not load, will people be able to read your page. If you have structured the page correctly with correct tags, yes they will. If you have made it easily readable with CSS alone, say goodbye to a reader. Search engines also starting to move towards penalising sites if they are not compliant with coding standards.

CSS is the thing that makes HTML look good. So while there are techniques that can help, generally CSS is needed.
