Your brand needs a home. It doesn't need a big bill.

I'm moving this page to free hosting to see what it takes. I'll share what works and what doesn't, as it happens.

Why I'm doing this

Where I amI run a lot of brand pages. Each one sits on a paid page builder.
What's in the wayThe bills add up. The pages are thin. Every change means logging in and fixing the same thing on every page.
What I noticedSimple pages can live on free hosting. Fast to load. One change, every page updated.
The nextstepMove one page first. This one. Then decide.

What I'm testing

This page is plain HTML on Cloudflare Pages. No page builder. No monthly fee.

If it works, I could save close to $1,000 a year across my brand pages.

I want to see how fast it loads and what breaks.

Playing it straight

This is an experiment. It's not a course and it's not a product.

I haven't moved my other pages yet. I'll tell you how it goes, good or bad.

Cloudflare isn't paying me. I'm using their free plan like anyone can.
