A platform exit, not a redesign
Your existing website is converted into a static site — same content, same design, same URLs — hosted on infrastructure that costs nothing to run and requires no maintenance.
You pay once. You receive the files. You own the result. There is no ongoing relationship required.

Plain English
What "static" actually means
A static website is a set of files — HTML, CSS, and images — served directly to the browser. There is no database, no server-side processing, and no login system generating pages on the fly.
- The site is pre-built, so it loads instantly
- There is no software to update or patch
- Hosting is free or nearly free because the server does almost nothing
- The files work anywhere — any host, any CDN, any developer
- There is nothing to hack because there is no application layer

Is This Right for You?
Good fit vs. not a fit
This is a good fit if
- Your site is mostly informational (services, about, contact)
- You rarely update content — maybe a few times a year
- You're paying monthly fees for a site that doesn't change
- You want to own your site outright with no dependencies
- You value simplicity over features you don't use
This is not a fit if
- You publish content daily or weekly (blog-heavy sites)
- You need e-commerce with a product catalog
- You rely on user accounts or login functionality
- Your site requires a database or server-side processing
- You need real-time dynamic content
Optional
Available add-ons
These are optional. The core conversion is complete without them.
- Contact form integration (Formspree, Netlify Forms, or equivalent)
- Simple CMS setup for self-service text edits (Decap CMS)
- Analytics setup (privacy-respecting, no cookies required)
- Custom domain email configuration
- Post-launch content update (one round, within 30 days)
Ownership
You own everything
After conversion, you receive every file. The HTML, the CSS, the images — all of it is yours. There is no proprietary system, no license, and no dependency on Mythic Works.
You are not tied to a hosting provider. You are not tied to a platform. You are not tied to us. If you want to move your site, change hosts, or hire a different developer, you can — immediately, without permission.
This is how websites should work. You pay for the work. You own the result.
Why This Service
Why Mythic Works offers this
Mythic Works is a software consultancy. Most of our work involves complex systems — infrastructure, integrations, internal tools. This service exists because we kept seeing the same problem.
Small businesses paying hundreds of dollars a month for websites that haven't changed in years. Locked into platforms they don't need, maintaining software they don't understand, paying for features they never use.
A static site conversion is a straightforward engineering task. It doesn't require a retainer. It doesn't require a long-term relationship. It requires someone who understands how web hosting actually works and can execute the migration cleanly.
That's what this is. Nothing more.
Process
How it works
Assessment
We look at your current site to confirm it's a good candidate for static conversion.
Conversion
Your site is rebuilt as clean, static HTML and CSS. Same content, same design, same URLs.
Deployment
The static site is deployed to free hosting and your domain is pointed to the new site.
Handoff
You receive all source files. The old platform subscription is yours to cancel.
FAQ
Common questions
Do I own the converted website?
Yes. You receive all source files, and you own everything completely. There is no license, no lock-in, and no dependency on Mythic Works after delivery.
Is hosting really free?
Static sites can be hosted on services like Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, or GitHub Pages at no cost for typical business websites. There are no hidden fees or usage-based charges for normal traffic levels.
What happens if Mythic Works disappears?
Nothing changes. You have the source files. Your site continues to run. Any developer can pick up where we left off because static sites use standard HTML, CSS, and web technologies.
Will my SEO and URLs be preserved?
Yes. URL structures are matched exactly, and redirects are set up for any URLs that must change. Meta tags, structured data, and sitemap are all included in the conversion.
How do I edit the site after conversion?
You can edit the HTML files directly, use a simple CMS like Decap CMS (free, open-source), or hire any web developer to make changes. The site uses standard web technologies that any developer can work with.
How long does the conversion take?
Most conversions are completed within one to two weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the site. You'll have a working preview before anything goes live.
Can I make design changes during conversion?
This service converts your existing site as-is. If you want design changes, those can be scoped separately. The goal here is a clean exit from your current platform, not a redesign.
