Static WordPress - Your WordPress site, exported to pure HTML - unhackable and blazing fast
If your site rarely changes, why pay for WordPress hosting, worry about updates, or risk getting hacked? We export your entire WordPress site as static HTML files - same design, same content, same URLs - and deploy it on a CDN. No PHP, no database, no attack surface. Just your site, but faster and safer.
What You Get - Everything your WordPress site has, minus the vulnerabilities
Your site looks and works exactly the same. The difference is under the hood - no server-side code, no database, nothing to hack.
- Unhackable by Design. No PHP, no database, no WordPress login, no wp-admin - there is literally nothing to attack. SQL injection, brute force, malware infections, and plugin exploits are all structurally impossible on a static site.
- Blazing Fast Load Times. Static HTML served from a CDN delivers sub-second load times everywhere in the world. No database queries, no PHP processing - just pre-built HTML files served instantly.
- Hosting for Almost Nothing. Static files on Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, or a simple CDN cost virtually nothing - often free for small-to-medium sites. No PHP hosting, no database server, no cPanel.
- Zero Maintenance. No WordPress updates, no plugin patches, no PHP version upgrades, no security monitoring. Once deployed, a static site just works - indefinitely.
- Perfect SEO Preservation. Every URL, every meta tag, every heading, every internal link stays exactly the same. Search engines see no difference - your rankings are fully preserved.
- Pixel-Perfect Conversion. We do not redesign anything. Your site is exported exactly as it looks today - same layout, same fonts, same images, same responsive behavior. Visitors will not notice any change.
Our Process - How we convert your WordPress site to static HTML
A straightforward process that takes your existing WordPress site and turns it into pure static files - ready to deploy anywhere.
Site Audit & Crawl
We crawl your entire WordPress site and catalog every page, asset, form, and dynamic element. We identify what converts directly to static and what needs special handling - contact forms, search, embedded content, and any interactive features.
Static Export & Cleanup
We generate static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files from every page on your site. All internal links are rewritten, assets are optimized, and WordPress-specific artifacts are stripped out. The result is a clean set of files that mirrors your live site exactly.
Dynamic Feature Replacement
Contact forms are replaced with Formspree, Basin, or similar services. If you have search, we set up a client-side solution. Any other interactive elements are handled with lightweight JavaScript or third-party embeds - no server required.
Deploy & Verify
We deploy the static site to a CDN (Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, or your preferred host), configure your domain, set up HTTPS, and verify every page against the original. Your WordPress installation is kept as a backup in case you ever need to make changes and re-export.

FAQ - Static site conversion questions
Have a question not covered here? Get in touch - we are happy to discuss whether a static conversion is right for your site.
Is this right for my site?
This is ideal for sites that rarely change - business websites, portfolios, landing pages, documentation, and brochure sites. If your content is mostly static and you update it a few times a year at most, this is a perfect fit. It is not a good fit for sites with daily content updates, user accounts, or dynamic e-commerce.
What happens when I need to update content?
We keep your original WordPress installation intact - it just runs locally or on a staging server instead of being public-facing. When you need to make a change, you edit in WordPress as usual, and we re-export the updated pages to the static site. Depending on your needs, we can set this up as a simple manual process or a semi-automated workflow.
What about my contact forms?
Contact forms are replaced with a form service like Formspree, Basin, or Getform. These work exactly like your current forms from the visitor perspective - they fill it out, hit submit, and the message goes to your email. No server-side code needed.
Will my site look any different?
No. We export your site pixel-for-pixel as it looks today. Same design, same fonts, same images, same responsive behavior. The only difference is what is running behind the scenes - which is nothing, and that is the point.
Can I go back to WordPress if I change my mind?
Yes. Your WordPress installation is kept fully intact as a backup. If you decide you need dynamic functionality again, we simply point your domain back to WordPress. Nothing is lost.
