Static websites: nothing to hack, nothing to wait for.
Hand-written HTML, CSS and vanilla JS, served straight from a CDN. No database, no PHP, no plugins. Just pages that load instantly and cost almost nothing to host.

Is static right for you?
No house platform here. If something else fits better, you'll hear it from me first.
Choose it if
- The site changes rarely: a landing page, portfolio, docs or campaign.
- Speed and security come first.
- You want hosting costs close to zero.
- You're fine with changes going through me, or through Git.
Look elsewhere if
- A non-technical team edits every day. Look at hybrid or Webflow.
- You need user accounts, a cart or live data on the server.
What I build as static.
-
Landing pages
One page, one goal, a load time you can't feel.
-
Company sites
Multi-page sites and portfolios that never need a security update.
-
Docs
Documentation and knowledge bases with search that works without a server.
-
Interactive tools
Calculators and generators in the browser, like the free tools on this site.
-
Forms
Contact and lead forms delivered by email, CRM or n8n, with no backend of your own.
-
Hosting set-up
Cloudflare Pages, Netlify or GitHub Pages, your domain and HTTPS, set up and handed over.
Built as static sites.
All workStatic next to the others.
I build on all four, so this is a comparison, not a sales pitch.
| Webflow | WordPress | Static | Hybrid | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who edits | Your team, in a visual editor | Your team, in WordPress | Me, or anyone with Git | Your team, in WordPress on their computer |
| Speed | Fast out of the box | Fast if built lean | Fastest possible | Fastest possible |
| Security upkeep | Handled by Webflow | Regular updates needed | Nothing to patch | Nothing public to patch |
| Running cost | Monthly site plan | Hosting + upkeep | Close to zero | Close to zero |
| Logins, carts, live data | Limited | Anything | Via services | Via services |
Questions about static sites.
How do I change the content?
Send me the change, or edit the files in Git. If your team needs to edit often, the hybrid setup gives you a real CMS with the same static output.
Do forms work without a backend?
Yes. Forms post to a form service or an automation (for example n8n) and land in your inbox or CRM.
How much does hosting cost?
Often nothing: static hosts have generous free tiers. A busy site might cost a few dollars a month.
Is static good for SEO?
Very. Pages are fast, the HTML is clean and nothing blocks crawlers. Meta tags, sitemaps and structured data are all included.
Can it grow into a CMS later?
Yes. The same design can move to the hybrid setup or to WordPress when you need editors.
Is it really safer?
There's no database, no admin panel and no server code to exploit. What's online is a folder of files.
