About

Plain notes on the technical side of small websites.

What this is

General guidance on speed, accessibility and hosting for sites with a few pages and no full-time maintainer.

What this is not

Not an agency and not a review site. Nothing here is a recommendation of a particular vendor.

• SpeedImages, fonts and third-party scripts — the three things that make small business sites slow.
• AccessibilityContrast, keyboard navigation, alt text and form labels — the practical checks that catch most problems.
• HostingStatic hosting, managed platforms and self-managed servers compared for sites that rarely change.
