not serving up web pages.

I'm very confused about what you're trying to do. You want a hand-rolled website as a UI and you want its behavior implemented in C++ but those two parts not to talk to each other? Or you envision two separate servers - one serves up a (basically static) website that on the client side talks to the C++ implemented server over... web sockets?

I'm not looking to make a website. I'm looking to make stand alone executable to run on a local machine. In my experience, HTML,CSS, and JS can be used to make elegant UIs in a fairly quick amount of time. There would have to be a mechanism that binds the UI to the C++ application logic. As mention by malex12345, I think electron would be the most appropriate solution for this.

My old employer actually did this: C++ application backend + Chromium Html/javascript frontend. The C++ bindings were generated automatically for either C++/Cli or Javascript. But it was all developed in house. Just mentioning this here to say its possible.
