Cattle restraint machines — a sales page
A single page selling heavy farm equipment: no framework, no CMS, not one dependency more than needed.
- Opens instantly even on weak mobile signal out in the field
- Nothing to go stale and nothing to update: ordinary files on a host
- Publishing repeats with one command
The problem
A buyer of this equipment reads the site on a phone, often outside town and on poor signal. A heavy framework bundle works against the sale here, and the brief explicitly required doing without build tools and a CMS.
How it works
Plain HTML, CSS and a little JavaScript: one sales page and two utility pages. No build step — what sits in the repository is what the visitor receives. Publishing is repeatable with a single command from the project folder.
The hard part
The 'no frameworks' constraint sounds like a simplification but actually hands back the work frameworks do silently: responsiveness, fonts, correctly weighted images, markup for search engines. Discipline matters more than tooling here — every kilobyte was added on purpose.
Evidence
- The site is published and responding
- No bundler and no dependencies: the repository equals what the visitor sees
- Re-publishing is one command, with no manual steps
