I'm curious as to what platform you built your website on? Are you using something like Wordpress?

I'm sure it's all custom made. Pros like these won't use common bloatware like WP.

I have a plugin in my Chrome browser that only shows jquery to be used around. I'm not trying to ditch Wordpress because it's somewhat nice / free / open source, but to be honest, it's rather garbage (since it's trying to be a common use CMS) and unsafe (since it's popular and versioned, when a exploit is found out, you need to upgrade ASAP or risk getting hacked, like it happened to my set-up that wasn't constantly back-ed up...). Basically by using WP you can increase your webhosting costs (if the case), while the muut devs are trying to go world wide and even made a pawnage Riot.js library which is super optimized for speed etc.

To put it basically, if you're a corporation using WP, you're not to be taken too seriously tech wise and you're throwing a lot of money out the window while risking ruining your public image when getting hacked (just a matter of time).

We also generate the site completely so it's 100% static generated and pushed to CDN so that it's all lightning fast.

This site is a good showcase how Muut can transform a completely static site to a dynamic one.

Even your blog uses static pages?

Yes

Why did you choose to use static pages for your blog? Was the infrequency of your postings a factor?
