Cloudflare Pages Websites
Fast static websites without the usual WordPress bloat.
Havant Digital builds lightweight static websites on Cloudflare Pages for small businesses that need simple pages, fast loading and fewer moving parts.
Sometimes the best website is just files.
A lot of small business websites do not need a database, plugin stack, theme framework or page builder. They need clear pages that load quickly and make it easy for people to contact the business.
A static Cloudflare Pages site keeps the setup simple. The site is made from HTML, CSS and assets, then deployed globally through Cloudflare.
Good fit for
- Brochure websites
- Service businesses
- Local SEO landing pages
- Small charity or community sites
- Businesses tired of WordPress problems
What you give up
A static site is not always the right answer. If you need lots of logged-in users, complex ecommerce, memberships or constant content editing by multiple staff, WordPress or another CMS may still be better.
For many small business websites, though, static is enough and often cleaner.
Cloudflare static website FAQs
Can a static website rank in Google?

Can the site still have forms?
Yes. Forms can be handled with a third-party service, Cloudflare Functions, email tools or automation platforms like Zapier and n8n.
Can AI be added later?
Yes. A static site can start simple, then add a website helper, enquiry sorting or automation later using Cloudflare Workers, Workers AI or other tools.
