STATIC WEB DESIGN (NO CMS)
WEB SERVICE PROVIDER IN THE PHILIPPINES
Mavenworks provides static web design service. Static websites (no CMS) are websites that do not require frequent changes or updates to it. If changes are needed, the client will just contact (on-call basis) the designer or developer to update it unless clients have in-house designers/developers.
CMS-driven websites allows you to change contents yourself without programming knowledge. However, it has performance issues — it has to do more roundtrips (like pulling latest data from the database) and display “dynamic” contents to visitors’ browser. That’s why cloud servers is better for CMS sites, with tools like static generators or cache plugin.
Static websites loads faster on browsers. However, it’s harder to implement because there’s no page builders (drag-drop WYSIWYG) or something similar that would make things easier for us during the design process. Hence, static sites would take longer to develop and would consequently be a bit more expensive.
WHY NO CMS?
Apart from slower performance of CMS-driven sites already mentioned, there are a number of other issues that needs to be raised:
- CMS software needs to be frequently updated to resolve vulnerabilities over time.
- With the CMS update comes compatibility issues with themes and plugins installed. Those software must also be updated otherwise, errors could occur.
Doing automatic updates of those software is not advisable due to security concerns, unwanted features, and compatibility issues between plugins, among other isssues not mentioned.
We limit our static web design service to personal or corporate websites having no dynamic data (static contents only). We make use of powerful NEXTjs 13 framework that supports rendering techniques such as SSG (static site generation) and/or ISR (incremental static regeneration). NEXTjs automatically determines and optimizes with its ASO (automatic static optimization) for “ultrafast loading” of pages. Static sites don’t need CSR or SSR — there’s no dynamic data (data that keeps on changing over time) to fetch.
STATIC WEB DESIGN SERVICE IN DETAIL
- Includes the most common pages such as home page, about us page, service or product page, contact us page, privacy policy, terms of use, plus some other pages you might require.
- The services or products pages mentioned above is not your comprehensive line of service/products. They’ll be just static pages. Should you require hundreds or thousands of dynamic service/product pages, then you could be looking for a catalog or ecommerce websites (complete with shopping cart, online payments and order processing), both of which falls under our CMS-driven eCommerce service.
- All pages are constructed using NEXTjs. There’ll be no CMS, no page builders. Special effects are limited. For extended special effects, refer to our special creative projects.
- TECHNOLOGY: NEXTjs, HTML5, Tailwind CSS for front-end, NEXTjs and NODEjs for the back-end. No database.
- HOSTING: NEXTjs static sites must be hosted on cloud servers or VPS – we highly recommend Vercel for cloud, DigitalOcean droplets for VPS.
- DURATION:
- 7 pages website – approximately 9 working days
- 15 pages website – approximately 2 weeks
- 25 pages website – approximately 3 weeks
- 50 pages website – approximately 1 month and 7 days
- 75 pages website – approximately 1 ½ month
- 100 pages website – approximately 2 months and 11 days
- Choice of full-stack developer or team influences the duration and project cost.
- TERMS OF PAYMENT: 50% downpayment 40% upon deployment, and 10% after deployment. However, it may be bound to be modified for large projects, and agreed upon by both parties.
- MODE OF PAYMENT: Refer to payment options.
- Service fees and currency conversion charges are to be paid by the client.
