Static websites for small businesses

You’re paying rent on software your website doesn’t need.

A typical small-business WordPress site carries several hundred dollars a year in plugin renewals, plus hosting, plus whoever keeps it patched. We rebuild the same site — same design, same words, same photos — without any of it underneath.

We rebuild your homepage free, before we ever speak. You judge the result, then decide.

What actually changes

Three things stop being your problem.

Your site stops being a program that runs and becomes a page that is already finished. That single change is where all of this comes from.

Security

Nothing to hack

Almost every WordPress break-in arrives through an out-of-date plugin or theme. A static site has no plugins, no database and no PHP running — the three doors that get used. There is nothing on the server to take over.

Maintenance

Nothing to update

No update queue, no compatibility breakage the morning after, no emergency because a plugin author abandoned their work. The page you approved is the page that stays up.

Speed

It just loads

No database lookups and no thirty plugin scripts per visit — the page is already built and served from the edge. We measure your real site before and after, and show you both numbers.

The demonstration

Watch the same page load twice.

One invented barbershop — Harbor & Main — built twice. The left frame loads the way a heavily plugged-in WordPress page loads. The right frame is the same page as we build it: nothing to run, so nothing to wait for.

Plugged in — cookie banner, popup, chat widget, page-builder slider, update nag. These figures are a composite of a typical brochure site with a page builder, not a measurement of any one site.

Static — the same page in a single paint, done before the left frame has drawn its slider. Figures describe this illustration, not a promise.

Same design. Same words. Nothing running underneath — that is the whole product.

This page you’re reading is the same construction — the footer measures it live.

The usual worry

You keep everything you actually use.

“Static” describes how the page is delivered, not what it can do. The pieces owners care about carry over — usually working better than they did.

How it goes

You see it working before you pay anything.

  1. We rebuild your homepage

    Free, and before we ever speak. You get a private link to your own homepage running as a static site, so the argument is settled by looking at it.

  2. You tell us what you pay now

    Hosting, plugin renewals, whoever maintains it. If we can’t come in under that number, we’ll say so and leave you alone.

  3. We rebuild the rest

    About a week for a typical site. Forms wired, photos carried over, addresses preserved so nothing you’ve earned in search gets lost.

  4. We host it and look after it

    We point your domain, keep it online, and make your edits. No update queue ever again — there is nothing left to update.

Price

One number, and it covers everything.

Hosting, SSL, edits, monitoring and backups are all inside the plan. There are no license renewals, because there are no licenses.

Monthly

$99

per month, plus a $750 one-time build

Everything included. Cancel whenever — you keep the site and the domain.

Yearly · build waived

$999

per year, nothing up front

The $750 build fee comes off entirely, and the year costs less than twelve months at the monthly rate.

Straight answer

This isn’t right for every website.

If your site does any of the following, a static rebuild would take something away from you. We’ll tell you that on the first email rather than the last invoice.

Send us your web address.

We’ll rebuild your homepage and send back a link to it. It costs nothing, there’s no signup, and if you never write back we won’t chase you.
