What it really costs

A CMS site is paid for every month. This one, once.

Most business websites run on a platform: Webflow, WordPress, Wix. People compare build quotes, rarely what comes after: a subscription or maintenance every month, for the whole life of the site. Over five years, that second line often exceeds the first.

Item	Site on a CMS	Website as code
The build	Paid once	Paid once
The platform subscription	Every month, as long as the site exists	None
Updates	Plugins, security and versions to keep up with	Nothing to update: files served as they are
Hosting	Included in the subscription, or billed separately	Free
The day you leave	A migration to pay for	Nothing: the site is already yours

What you get

A site you own, not one you rent.

The site lands in a GitHub repository in your name, deployed on your own hosting account. No platform subscription, no licence to renew, no dependence on me.

The pascaldegut.com website, delivered as code, shown on desktop and mobile — The site you are reading is delivered exactly like this: static files, no CMS and no subscription, fast on desktop and mobile alike.

The site's repository open in an editor: file tree, commented code and change history — Its repository: a readable file tree, commented code and every change tracked in the history.

A GitHub repository in your nameThe whole site lives there: pages, styles, scripts, images. Full change history. You can give access to whoever you want, or close it, without asking me anything.
Free hostingStatic files served from a content delivery network: no server to maintain, no security updates, no bill that climbs with traffic.
Performance that doesn't degradeNo database queried on every visit, no layer of plugins piling up over the years. A coded site that was fast at delivery is still fast three years later.
Clean technical SEOStructured markup, sitemap, titles and descriptions written page by page, compressed images, redirects in place. The foundation is set correctly from launch.
A stack anyone can take overNothing exotic and no in-house framework. The code is commented, the documentation is written, and the project can be handed on without a verbal briefing.
No maintenance contractA static site has nothing to update. Changes are billed when you need them, by the day, with no minimum commitment.

FAQ

Before we start.

Why a coded site rather than a CMS?

Because a monthly subscription paid for five years for an editing interface nobody uses costs more than the site itself. If the content changes once or twice a year, code is simpler, faster and cheaper to run.

So how do I change the content?

You write to me, or your developer edits a file. For sites where a few texts change now and then, that is enough. If you plan to publish every week, go for the CMS website instead: it is the format made for that.

What exactly do I receive?

A GitHub repository in your name containing the whole site, deployment configured on your own hosting account, written documentation and a recorded walkthrough. No licence to renew, no platform to depend on.

What if I want to change developer?

You do. The stack is standard (HTML, CSS and JavaScript, or a mainstream framework depending on the project) and the code is commented. Any developer can take over the project without asking me a single question.

Is it really faster than a CMS site?

On load time, yes, clearly: no database queried on every visit, no layer of plugins, files served as they are. That is why a site of this kind passes Google's performance thresholds without any particular optimisation work.

Do you develop with AI?

Yes, every day. AI tools markedly speed up execution, and that shows in the price. I review, I test and I answer for every line delivered.
