Hi Richard

Don't get too bogged down in HTML. I'm sure it will take you less than an
hour to learn the essentials of HTML reading something like this
http://www.w3schools.com/html/

On the other hand, CSS and Javascript are a considerable learning curve and
writing it yourself from scratch is an ordeal because it involves a lot of
testing to make sure it works in all browsers.

If you're just trying to learn how Dancer works as a framework, go ahead
with copying and modifying the templates that are there. If you're putting
together a site for use in production, I'd recommend downloading a
Bootstrap ( http://getbootstrap.com/ ) template from a site like
http://startbootstrap.com/ or https://wrapbootstrap.com/ then copy and
modify them to use as Template Toolkit (http://www.template-toolkit.org/)
files.

Does that answer your question?

Andrew
