A static site checklist for quiet services
A short list of files and headers that make a small static site feel complete without adding moving parts.
The useful baseline is small: an index page, a clear about page, a privacy note, a sitemap, a robots file, and a predictable asset folder.
Keeping the layout plain helps future maintenance. A single stylesheet is easier to audit than a pile of generated assets.
For small sites, the best reliability feature is often restraint. Fewer dependencies means fewer surprises during renewals or server moves.
