Or a number of related pages greater than five. (Not too long ago I built a temporary website for some organisation. Fewer than ten HTML pages and not to be edited by anyone but me, so I wrote the code by hand, uploaded them onto my server through scp. But then I had to make a few changes to the menu and found myself having to run various sed commands to change it on all pages. Then I regretted not using PHP includes. Had the site been just a tiny bit bigger, I should have used some kind of CMS.) Unless you mean 'raw HTML' as opposed to HTML with CSS and other bells and whistles. It's true that such pure HTML has little problems rendering on any screen. It isn't usually that pretty though. And if you use CSS properly, it's not too hard to make it look right on any kind of screen.
