Calm & simplicity
Website without maintenance costs
no CMS to keep up with
Most business owners simply want a reliable site that keeps working — without a monthly invoice for CMS updates and without worries about outdated plug-ins. That is what we build HTML-only websites: static, fast and without an engine running behind the scenes.
After delivery you pay no fixed maintenance as long as your content stays stable: only hosting and, if you wish, a change whenever you want one.
Why a CMS brings fixed maintenance costs
WordPress, Joomla and similar systems consist of software, themes and often dozens of extensions. Those components are constantly updated to close security holes and to stay compatible. Anyone who wants to keep a CMS site in good shape therefore ends up with a continuous maintenance pattern — whether that runs through an agency or through your own time.
HTML only: no engine that needs oiling
A well-built static HTML site has no admin log-in, no database and no plug-ins that you have to update periodically to stay secure. As long as the design and the content suit you, nothing has to be “updated” to keep the site usable. That is the difference with a CMS: fewer moving parts, less risk, fewer recurring costs. You will find more technical explanation on HTML web design.
Changes after all? Only when you want them
There are two ways to change texts or photos with us: with a maintenance bundle (€ 379,- per year for 5 hours of work per year) or separately per hour (€ 80,-) whenever something needs doing. Do you have HTML knowledge yourself? Then you can also make simple changes in the source code. That way you pay no automatic monthly charge for work that is not there.
Benefits we describe the same way elsewhere
- Speed — pages are served directly, without a heavy CMS layer.
- Security — a smaller attack surface, no well-known CMS log-in routes.
- Lifespan — no chain of theme and plug-in updates to stay compatible.
- Bespoke — no template; design and technology tailored to your brand.
- More environmentally friendly per visit — less server work per click; see CMS vs. HTML sustainability.
Not held hostage by a single supplier
Fixed maintenance costs sometimes become a gilded cage: you keep paying because switching looks expensive or complicated. With an HTML website that does not apply. The technology is universal, so virtually any web builder can take over your site — there is no closed system around it that ties you to us or to a subscription. We are happy to keep your site up to date, but you choose that because it works well, not because you have to. That freedom also keeps the costs fair.
Hosting is still needed
No maintenance costs does not mean: online entirely for free. You need hosting ; for HTML we offer a package of € 69,- per year (500 MB). Other requirements? See web hosting.
Is this always the right choice?
Static HTML does not suit every organisation: anyone who publishes articles daily or needs complex integrations is better off with a CMS — in that case we build, for example, on WordPress or Joomla. But for presentation websites, campaigns and many freelance and SME sites, HTML is often the calmest and cheapest life cycle. In doubt? We will think along honestly with you — even if the answer is “CMS”.
