  • Why Static Sites Are Making a Comeback

    Static sites are back — and this time they are dynamic. Modern static site generators combine CDN speed with flexible data fetching at build time.

    The Speed Difference

    Static sites serve pre-built HTML from a CDN. No database queries. No PHP. No SSR on every request. Sub-100ms TTFB.

    Security by Default

    No server-side code = no injection attacks. No database = no SQL injection. No auth = no credential stuffing. Attack surface: zero.

    Content Management Without Compromise

    Headless WordPress bridges the gap. Clients get the dashboard they know. Developers get static output. Updates trigger rebuilds in ~90 seconds.

  • Content Management Best Practices for Modern Websites

    Good content structure makes or breaks a website. Whether writing for SEO or readability, how you organize matters.

    Start with Categories

    Categories are your primary organizing system — the table of contents. Tags are supplemental. Limit to 5-7 categories.

    Use Clear Heading Hierarchy

    H1 is post title. H2 marks major sections. H3 for subsections. Never skip levels — screen readers and search engines rely on proper hierarchy.

    Keep URLs Clean

    WordPress handles this with proper permalink settings. Use /blog/descriptive-slug not /?p=123.

  • Building Fast Websites with Headless WordPress and Astro

    Headless WordPress gives clients the dashboard they know while developers build with modern tools.

    Why This Approach Wins

    The WordPress REST API has been built in since version 4.7. No plugins needed.

    How It Works

    1. Client manages content in the WordPress dashboard
    2. Astro.js fetches all content at build time via REST API
    3. Static HTML files generated and deployed to Cloudflare Pages
    4. Visitors get sub-100ms load times from CDN
