Please could you recommend to a novice web developer a web UI framework for web browsers without JavaScript support?

I've enjoyed bulma in the past:

There are a bunch of others I haven't used in a long time:

[3] https://get.foundation

Many people also like tailwind, but it's very opinionated:

If you are new to development, I advise you to do not to use any framework, give time to yourself use vanilla CSS and JavaScript so you will learn them the right way. I know some people who can't differentiate between Tailwind classes and HTML/CSS, they was thinking that Tailwind is CSS because they directly started learning it first, that's not the right way in my opinion.

Without Javascript, a "web UI framework" is effectively just a CSS framework.
