Ki-Ki sits in a very deliberate place. Modern Cloudflare and static tooling at the edge, backed by old school web and design values that keep noise low and sites easy to live with.
This page explains how I actually build and harden sites for small organisations, and why it looks different to what you see in most generic agency or website builder setups.
Cloudflare at the edge, static hosting, Workers where needed, strict TLS, and sane DNS. The goal is a small attack surface with clear routing and logs that actually tell a story.
Simple layouts, clear typography, and content that respects the user. No feature for the sake of it, no visual tricks that tank performance, and no maze of hidden settings.
Infrastructure is wired in a way that matches how you actually operate. Policies, logging, and data flows are aligned so that your public story is not quietly contradicted by the plumbing.
Drag and drop tools look friendly and they have their place. In practice many end up slow, overloaded, and hard to debug when something misfires. The focus is features, not foundations.
A glossy pitch, a premium theme, and a long list of plug ins. On launch day it looks smart. Two years later it is brittle, slow, and nobody is quite sure what happens if you update anything.
The cheapest option at the start. Often the most expensive later. You inherit a one off build that lives in their head, with few notes, no governance, and no clear plan for handover.
JavaScript heavy sites that look impressive on a design deck but fight the devices and connections many of your users rely on. Great for complex products, less helpful for local services.
There are excellent teams working inside all of those models, but the incentives are different. Ki-Ki is built for small organisations that need something steadier and less theatrical.
This model is not the answer to every digital problem on earth. It fits best where stability, clarity, and resilience are more important than glossy effects.
If your needs sit somewhere in the middle, we can usually make a hybrid work, for example static front ends paired with selected third party tools behind the scenes.
If this approach sounds closer to what you want than another templated rebuild, you can either start with a light pass or go straight for a fuller review.
If you are still unsure which route makes sense, send a short outline of your current setup and I will tell you where the biggest gains sit, in plain English.
