Secure, static websites

Secure websites for government, business and industry.

We build fast, custom static websites with no database, no public login and no plugins, so the most common ways into a website simply aren’t there. We host them on Australian servers, deliver them through a fast content delivery network, and our Perth team watches and updates them for you.

Why static is safer

Seven ways into a typical website.

Most websites have the same weak spots, and attackers know where to look. Here they are, one at a time, and why a static website doesn’t have them.

Way in 1 of 7

The login page

On a typical website

Anyone can find the login page and keep trying passwords until one works.

On a static website

There’s no login page on the site to find.

A static website has none of these.

The public site is finished pages and nothing else, so there’s nothing on it to break into.

  • No login page
  • No admin area
  • No forms writing into the site
  • No uploads
  • No plugins
  • No server code
  • No database
Who’s it for?

Built for organisations where security comes first.

  • Government and councils

    Public information has to stay up and stay correct. With no database to tamper with, the site holds steady through emergencies and announcements.

  • Corporate

    Your website is part of your brand and your risk register. There’s no admin screen on the internet, every change is versioned, and pages load fast for clients, investors and recruits.

  • Industrial, mining and engineering

    Capability statements, safety credentials, project galleries and tender documents, all presented clearly, without a monthly round of plugin patches.

  • Small business

    The security and speed of a much bigger site, with none of the upkeep on your plate. We look after it for you, and there’s a person to call when you need a change.

Secure by design, not by add-on.

  • No database to break into

    The public pages have no database behind them, so there’s nothing to inject into or copy out.

  • No public login page

    Changes are made by our team, away from the live site, so attackers have no admin screen to find and no passwords to guess.

  • No plugins to patch

    No third-party plugins or server code run on the public site, so there’s far less to watch.

  • Every change versioned

    Each update is a new build, and we can roll back to the last one in seconds.

  • Ready for busy days

    Every page is pre-built and delivered through a content delivery network, so a spike in visitors after news or an emergency update won’t slow it down.

  • Fast for everyone

    Pages are ready before anyone asks for them, which Google rewards.

Forms, bookings and your CRM still work

We connect them through secure services, the same way we do for API integration. Enquiries, bookings and new contacts land where they should, without anything running on your website.

Ask us about your tools

Is static right for you?

Choose static if your site is mainly about your services, your work and how to contact you. If you update it daily, sell online or have several people editing, another kind of site will suit you better.

Straight answers

Common questions.

“Security questions? Ask me directly. I’ll tell you honestly whether static suits your organisation, and what it would take.”

Gerson, Listapage
Ask Gerson
What is a static website?

A site whose pages are built in advance, rather than assembled by a database each time someone visits. It’s faster, and there’s much less to attack.

Is a static website really more secure?

It removes the parts most attacks go after: the database, the login page and plugins. Nothing is unbreakable, so we still host, monitor and update it for you.

How do we make changes?

Send them to us. We make, test and publish every change, and it’s included in your care plan.

Can it have forms and bookings?

Yes. Forms and bookings connect through secure services.

Does it meet government security requirements?

We’ll document exactly how the site is built and hosted for your security team, and work within your requirements. We don’t claim certifications we don’t hold.

Where is it hosted?

On Australian servers, delivered through a content delivery network so pages load quickly wherever your visitors are.

Will moving to static hurt our Google rankings?

Not when it’s done properly. We keep your page addresses or redirect them, and carry over titles and descriptions.
