Discuss your projectWhat this is
A website you own from day one
This is custom web design with a different model: you pay once, you own the result, and hosting is free.
I design and build a professional website tailored to your business. Not a template with your logo swapped in, but a site created for your specific needs, content, and objectives.
The site is built as a static website, which means it loads instantly, requires no maintenance, and can be hosted for free on services like Cloudflare Pages or Netlify. There are no monthly platform fees, no subscriptions to manage, and no logins to remember.
You receive all the source files. The site is yours completely.
Why static
Better for your business, better for your visitors
Lightning fast
Pages load in under a second. No database queries, no server processing. Just instant delivery to your visitors.
Secure by default
No plugins to patch, no login pages to protect, no database to secure. Static sites have minimal attack surface.
Free hosting
Static sites can be hosted on Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, or GitHub Pages at zero cost for typical business traffic.
Complete ownership
You get all source files. No proprietary systems, no lock-in. Any developer can work with standard HTML and CSS.
Zero maintenance
No CMS updates, no plugin conflicts, no security patches. The site just runs, indefinitely.
Global CDN
Your site is served from edge locations worldwide. Fast for visitors everywhere, not just near your server.

Is this right for you?
Good fit vs. not a fit
This is a good fit if
- You're starting a new business and need a professional website
- Your site is primarily informational (services, about, contact)
- You want to own your website outright with no monthly fees
- You update content occasionally, not daily
- You value speed, simplicity, and long-term cost savings
This is not a fit if
- You need e-commerce with a full product catalog
- You publish content daily (blog-heavy or news sites)
- You need user accounts or login functionality
- You require real-time dynamic features or a database
- You need a complex web application, not a website

Common questions
Do I own the website you build?
Yes. You receive all source files and 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 if I need changes after the site launches?
You can edit the HTML files directly, use a simple CMS such as Decap CMS (free and open-source), or engage any web developer for updates. I also offer update packages if you prefer that I manage changes.
Do you build e-commerce sites?
This service does not support full product catalogs with shopping carts. Static sites are best suited for informational and service-based businesses. If you require e-commerce functionality, I can discuss alternatives or provide a referral.
Can I add a blog later?
Yes, static site generators are well-suited for blogs. If you plan to publish frequently, I can implement a system that streamlines adding new posts. For occasional updates, simpler solutions are available.
What if Mythic Works disappears?
Nothing changes. You have all the source files. Your site continues to run. Any developer can pick up where I left off because static sites use standard HTML, CSS, and web technologies.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance?
Static sites require no ongoing maintenance, which is a key advantage. I also offer optional content update packages if you prefer that I manage updates.
