Starting point

A three-page personal site that is yours to host anywhere

Three pages is the whole site, and that is the point. Nothing here stores anything, so it exports as static files you can host on almost anything. A freelancer closes the website builder after the third page, because there is no fourth waiting to be filled.

Three pages, because a fourth would be padding

What I do, what I have shipped, how to reach me. Adding pages to a personal site is how it stops getting updated, so this starting point ships three and no more. Nothing on it stores anything, so it deploys as static files. There are no testimonials by design — a personal site quoting other people about itself reads badly — and the contact page carries a five-answer FAQ where they would have gone.

What the sample site comes with

Three pages — home, work, contact — a five-question FAQ, a timeline block for the career, and a delivery with no database and no back-office screens.

Anything on that list that takes something from a visitor or reads from a live schedule — a form, a booking, a coupon code, a subscribe box, a class timetable, a listing fed by a collection — goes online with Storefront Pro. Storefront publishes the rest of the page exactly as you built it; where this template gives one of those a page of its own, that page is the one that waits for the upgrade.

What the site covers

3 pages included

What is in scope, and what stays in your own systems

Three pages, no post archive and no comment queue to moderate — that is deliberately the whole shape. If you publish regularly, start from the Publication starting point instead; it is in the same catalog and switching costs nothing.

Every count and price on this page was read out of the template itself rather than written by hand, which is why the numbers match the site you actually get.
