Why Soames Is Static

June 30, 2026

A question we hear a lot: why is a Soames front end static instead of a live WordPress site? The short answer is speed and safety.

A static site is just pre-built files. Nothing runs a database query when a visitor arrives, no plugin executes on each request, and there is no live application for an attacker to poke at. Pages load almost instantly, and hosting costs next to nothing.

What you get

  • Speed: pages are already built, so they load fast.
  • Security: no runtime database or plugins to exploit.
  • Simplicity: deploy plain files to any host.

You still write in WordPress exactly as before. Soames just turns your content into a fast, static site on the way out.
