for 30 minutes
The $50 fee is applied as a credit toward your project when you book Tier 1 or Tier 2. It is not a cash refund for a call that does not lead to a project.

Every site lives in a GitLab repository with CI/CD.
Client production sites run on Cloudflare Pages, never on homelab hardware, so a local power event never takes your site down.

// diff
| // property | Typical WordPress site | ANotSoI static site |
|---|---|---|
| Server code at request time | PHP + MySQL database | ✓ None. Pre-built HTML files |
| Plugins to patch | Typically many | ✓ Zero |
| Attack surface | Login page, plugins, database | ✓ Static files on a CDN |
| Hosting | Managed PHP host | ✓ Global CDN (Cloudflare Pages) |
| Version history | Usually none | ✓ Every change committed in Git |
| If the vendor disappears | Depends on host and account access | ✓ You hold the repo and the DNS |
// faq
Yes. The scope is written down before work starts and the price does not move. Anything outside the package is quoted separately, in writing, before it is done.
You do. The source code lives in a Git repository, the domain is registered to you, and the site can be moved to another developer or host without asking permission.
For a 3-to-5 page business site, a database and a plugin stack add patching work and attack surface without adding anything your customers see. Static pages are faster and have far less to break.
Keeping the domain, DNS and site in working order after launch. The exact items are listed in your agreement so there is no guessing about what is included.
The timeline is agreed during scoping and written into the agreement. It depends mostly on how quickly content and photos are ready.
Models may help draft or summarize. A person reviews everything, and nothing about your business is stated unless you have confirmed it.
A paid 30-minute call ($50, based on $100/hr) with an agenda sent ahead. You get one follow-up email with a fixed quote. The fee is applied as a credit toward your project if you book Tier 1 or Tier 2.
On Cloudflare Pages, a global CDN. Client production sites never run on local lab hardware, so a power outage or maintenance window here cannot take your site down.
