I build my sites the static way too these days. The best part is that I can host my sites on Cloudflare Pages, which is completely free and can easily handle a traffic spike. Plus, it has a built-in CDN, so it's super quick.

I use Astro for my websites, because I'm familiar with the framework and have used it for many of my clients. Even though Astro is a framework, it doesn't feel like one when creating content inside it.
