Blueprint

Marketing Website

Static sites that delete whole categories of problems.

When a site can be static, you don’t just swap tools — you delete entire categories of problems. No database, no plugins, no server to babysit, no caching plugin clawing back speed you already have. This is the stack I reach for on any marketing site.

GitHub is the backup. Every version, forever.
