Testimonial from Jason Nappi

"Static websites definitely have their place! They're simple, fast, secure, and great for projects that don't need to update content in-house."

What is a static site?

A static website is a type of website where the pages are fixed and don't change based on who's visiting or what they're doing. It's made up of files, such as PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, that are stored on a server and shown to visitors exactly as they are. Static websites are fast, secure, and easy to set up, making them great for projects like personal portfolios, business pages, or event sites. They don't usually have features like user logins or live updates, but tools can be used to add any functionality that's needed. Approximately 2% of sites are static. Even the site you are looking at right now is static.

Benefits

  • Speed: Static websites load really fast because they don't need to fetch information from a database or process anything on a server.
  • Security: They're safer since there's no backend or database for hackers to target.
  • Affordable: Design and development of a static website is often very cheap.
  • Good for Google: When built properly, static sites can rank well on search engines because their code is clean and easy for search engines to understand.
  • Easy and Simple: Static websites are perfect for straightforward projects like showing off your work, sharing basic information, or creating a simple business website.

Who is a Static Site a Good Fit For?

  • Local Businesses – Small shops, cafes, or salons that need a simple site to show their hours, location, and what they offer.
  • Personal Portfolios – Artists, photographers, or freelancers showing off their work.
  • Event Pages – Wedding sites, community events, or conferences sharing schedules and details.
  • Brochure Sites – Businesses that just need to explain their services or products, like a construction company.
  • Landing Pages – Simple, one-page sites to promote something like a new product or app.
  • Small Stores – Businesses with just a few products that link to PayPal or other checkout tools.
