It's not hard to make a useful website that's small. You just have to avoid using javascript libraries and keep images to a minimum. There are a number of static web page generators if you don't want to write HTML yourself.

Keep in mind that a 50 kB page is about a 15 second load on a typical dial-up connection. Before high speed internet, almost everyone kept their web pages small.
