Even though current popular websites are mostly using JavaScript, the first webpage in the world on http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html is just containing a simple HTML text with links. There are no CSS and JavaScript scripts, no images, no HTML5, no Java Applets/Flash and Silverlight Objects, and even no PHP at all. The webpage is "ugly" due to no styling on text, headers and hyperlinks (unlike Google websites). Even though the site is "ugly", but it's a good example of a popular site without any JavaScript.
