AlphaPixel · Why Static Websites?

Why a typical professional firm doesn’t need WordPress (or its security headaches)

Speed, Security & Simplicity · By Ross Owen

WordPress powers millions of sites, which also makes its PHP code, database and third-party plugins the number-one target for automated web attacks. If your website is there to explain what your firm does and win enquiries, pre-built static HTML is faster, safer and needs zero plugin maintenance.

WordPress vs AlphaPixel static websites

  • No PHP or database on the server: When critical vulnerabilities like October 2026’s PHP flaw hit, WordPress sites had to patch immediately or go offline. AlphaPixel sites have no PHP or database on the server at all.
  • Instant loading on mobile: Because every page is pre-built and served from an edge network rather than assembled on the fly from a database, pages open almost instantaneously — a direct signal for Google rankings and mobile visitors.
  • No plugin treadmill: You never receive an email saying “14 plugins need updating and one broke your contact form.” We handle all updates and hosting for £69/month.

Common questions

Can a static website still have a contact form and analytics?
