A slow website doesn’t just frustrate users.
It actively costs you customers and revenue.
What is static website design?
Static website design uses modern static site generation (SSG) tools — like Hugo — to pre-build every page before a visitor arrives. There’s no database to query, no server-side code to execute on each load. The result is a site that serves in milliseconds, every time, to every user.
We hand-code every component from scratch. No WordPress themes. No Squarespace templates. No page builder bloat. Just clean, purposeful code that reflects the quality of your business and holds its performance for years.
Why it matters for your business:
Speed that converts
Every 100ms of load time costs conversions. Our static sites load 2–5x faster than traditional CMS-driven sites, directly improving your bounce rate and revenue.
Security by architecture
No database exposed to the public internet means no SQL injection, no plugin exploits. The most common attack vectors simply don't exist.
SEO advantage
Core Web Vitals are a direct Google ranking factor. Our sites consistently score 95+ on PageSpeed Insights — giving you a structural SEO edge over competitors on WordPress.
Lower cost of ownership
No hosting overhead, no plugin licence fees, no monthly maintenance patches. Static sites cost less to run over their lifetime than any CMS-heavy alternative.

From focused lead-generation sites to content-rich multi-page platforms — we design and build static websites that work as hard as you do. Every project starts with understanding your business goals, then engineering a digital asset that serves them with precision.

How we work
We follow The Yah Way — a three-phase process built around your goals, not a generic template. No surprises, no scope creep, no disappearing acts mid-project.
Phase 1: Listen & Architect
We start by understanding your business, your users, and what success looks like. Then we map the architecture before a single line of code is written.
Phase 2: Craft & Code
Every component hand-built. Design and development happen together — no handing off a Figma file and hoping for the best.
Phase 3: Test & Evolve
We ship, we validate, we improve. Your site is a living asset — we build it to grow with your business.

Frequently asked questions
A static website pre-builds every page before a visitor arrives — there’s no database query or server processing on each load. WordPress generates pages on-the-fly by querying a database every time someone visits, which adds latency, security risk, and ongoing maintenance overhead. For most Australian businesses, a static site outperforms WordPress on speed, security, and total cost of ownership. We connect every static site to an intuitive CMS so your team can update content just as easily as WordPress — without the baggage.
Yes — that’s by design. We integrate every site with CloudCannon, a visual CMS that lets your team edit text, images, blog posts, and page sections through a point-and-click interface. No code required. We run a handover session after launch to make sure your team is comfortable, and we’re available for ongoing support if needed.
We work on monthly agile retainers — not one-off project fees. New static website builds engage at our Launching tier from $12,600/mo Ex. GST, which covers the full design, build, CMS integration, and a dedicated project lead. Once your site is live, most clients move to our Scaling tier ($6,660+/mo) for ongoing growth and optimisation, or Maintaining ($1,350+/mo) for care and updates. All plans are month-to-month with no lock-in. Full pricing and inclusions →
Most projects take 4–8 weeks from kickoff to launch. We move quickly because we’re not adapting pre-made templates — every component is built specifically for your project. Timeline depends significantly on how prepared you are with content, branding, and copy. We’ll map out a clear project schedule during your initial consultation.
Static websites have a structural SEO advantage. Core Web Vitals — Google’s page experience signals — directly influence search rankings, and static sites consistently score higher than CMS-driven alternatives. Our builds routinely hit 95+ on PageSpeed Insights. Combined with clean semantic HTML, proper schema markup, and a content strategy, static sites give Australian businesses a genuine ranking edge.
