Web development FAQ

Clean, fast static websites for simple businesses and creative portfolios — a homepage, your work or services, a way to get in touch, and the few other pages you actually need. Not bloated apps, not plugin-stuffed page builders. Just a professional site that loads quickly and is easy to keep current.

Creators and small businesses with straightforward goals: DJs, artists, furry artists and fursuit makers, furry and creative businesses, and small local service businesses. If you want a clean web presence without babysitting a complicated app, you're in the right place.

A static site is built ahead of time into plain web pages and served as-is. There's no heavy application running behind it waiting to break — the pages are already made, so the server just hands them over. That simplicity is the whole point.

Because they're fast, secure, and low-maintenance. Pre-built pages load almost instantly, even on a phone with bad signal. There's no login-heavy backend or plugin soup to hack or patch. And they run cheaply on reliable hosting, so the site quietly does its job instead of demanding attention.

Absolutely — plenty of people start exactly there. Share whatever you've got (your socials, links, examples of your work) in the intake form, and we'll figure out the rest together. You don't need an existing site to apply.

When it's a good fit, it covers a polished, professional static site that you fully own — designed, built, and launched. It's offered case-by-case for a small number of projects, not as an always-open program.

No. Free builds are selective and decided case-by-case, based on fit. There's no fixed number of slots, no guaranteed acceptance, and no promised timeline. Submitting the intake form is the start of a conversation, not a confirmed booking.

Two simple things: a small footer credit with a backlink on the finished site, and permission to show the completed project as portfolio work. That's the whole exchange — you get a site you own, and Pakkit gets to point to real work.

A small, tasteful line in the site footer crediting Pakkit, linked back to pakkit.net. It's unobtrusive and sits with the usual footer details — not a banner or a pop-up.

Yes — for free builds, permission to showcase the finished site as portfolio work is part of the exchange. That means linking to it and featuring it as an example of the kind of sites built here.

If your project is accepted, you'll collaborate on the content, images, business details, goals, and feedback that make the site yours. The build is a back-and-forth — you know your work and your audience best, so your input shapes how everything comes together.

Not at all. Bring what you have. In the intake form you can say whether your images and content are ready, partly there, not yet, or whether you'd like help figuring it out. We sort the rest out together if the project moves forward.

Not yet — the intake form doesn't take file uploads right now. Just describe what you have and link to anything that's already online. If your project is accepted, we'll sort out sharing images and files then.

Basic updates can be handled by Pakkit — small text, image, and link changes that keep the site current without you having to touch code. The goal is that the site stays up to date with what you're doing.

Basic updates aren't a promise of unlimited free maintenance or open-ended development. Bigger changes, new sections, or ongoing hands-on work are their own conversation. The aim is a site that's easy to keep current, not a permanent free support contract.

Yes — those are possible future enhancements rather than defaults. The base build includes a basic SEO foundation; blog updates, deeper SEO, analytics, and conversion tracking can be added later if and when they make sense for your project.

Pakkit reviews your intake to see if it's a good fit. The form is the official record of your project; if it looks like a match, you'll get a follow-up through the contact method you provided so we can talk through the details.

Yes — that's encouraged. The intake form is the record, but the real work starts with a normal conversation. If you already chat with Pakkit on Discord or Telegram, pick it right back up there after you submit.
