Practical guides to building a modern website with no build step and no database - and running it with, or without, an AI agent.

Concepts

• Build a website without a database - why a database is overhead most sites never use, and how to do without one.
• The self-hosted CMS you actually own - self-hosting without the heavyweight stack, and what real ownership requires.
• Start a Markdown blog without a build step - write, save, live - with feeds, and no generator to run.
• A free website for a small business or club - a proper site for next to nothing, easy to keep current.

How to

• Add a contact form without a backend - collect enquiries with no server code and no form SaaS.
• Add search to a static site - real site search, in the browser, no backend.
• Publish a website by voice - speak the change and it goes live.
• Let an AI agent run your website - describe what you want; an assistant publishes it, safely.
