The OG, Web 1.0 way websites were built. Static HTML files serving up information in the most minimal, efficient way possible.

Usually nothing more than some branding, imagery, and text, HTML websites are blazing fast, with low maintenance and low security risk. Despite the minimal functionality, these sites can still be made to look great and are particularly suited to small businesses if built with SEO principles in mind.

A basic HTML design can also be converted into a simple web application using a framework like Flask. Powered by Python, Flask helps to convert a simple site into whatever you need - potentially handling complex situations in a fast-loading, clean user interface.
