The Business Problem

As a development consultancy, Big0 faced the classic "cobbler's shoes" problem. We needed a company website that demonstrated our capabilities without becoming a maintenance burden.

The options weren't appealing. WordPress means constant security updates, plugin conflicts, and server management. Modern JavaScript frameworks introduce dependency management overhead and build complexity. Hosted website builders lack the customization and performance our brand demands.

We wanted to spend our time on client work—not patching our own website's infrastructure.

The Solution

We built our own static site generator in Python and practiced what we preach: eliminate everything that can break.

Static HTML files can't be hacked through SQL injection or XSS. They don't need security patches. They don't break from dependency conflicts. The website can run for years without any intervention.

Content is authored in Markdown. The build process handles everything else: HTML generation, CSS minification, SEO metadata, structured data, image optimization, sitemap generation, and search index creation. Non-technical team members contribute content through straightforward pull requests.

We use modern HTML and CSS features instead of JavaScript wherever possible. JavaScript is reserved for where it genuinely improves user experience: client-side search and interactive galleries. The result: pages that load and render before JavaScript-heavy alternatives finish downloading their bundles.

The Results

The website has run without intervention since launch. No security patches, no server management, no dependency updates, no database backups. Pages load in under one second globally. Lighthouse consistently scores 99+ across performance, accessibility, best practices, and SEO.

Every potential client who visits the site experiences our development philosophy firsthand. Fast, simple, secure—with no ongoing costs beyond the domain name.

For a consultancy, that's the point. Our website showcases our approach rather than consuming our attention.
