One bilingual site, two markets
We needed our own website, one that showed how we work while actually being built the way we build for clients. It had to serve two audiences: Portuguese businesses and international prospects, each reading content that felt written for them, not translated.
Speed, accessibility, and search rankings were the hard requirements. The site had to load fast, score well on Core Web Vitals, and rank in both languages. All of it without a backend or a CMS, and with a hosting bill close to zero.
Static by choice, not by limit
We went with Astro 6 and static output, no server to think about. Every page is pre-rendered at build time, served from Cloudflare’s edge, and cached hard. Tailwind CSS 4.2 runs the design system through CSS-first config: all tokens in one stylesheet, no JavaScript config file.
Bilingual routing uses /en/ and /pt/ prefixes, with browser language detection at the root URL. Content is MDX validated by Zod schemas. Adding a case study means dropping a file in the right folder; the build handles types, images, and the sitemap.
The deployment has no moving parts: no database, no auth, no runtime costs.
The numbers, today
In practice, the site loads almost instantly anywhere in the world. Running costs are close to zero, schema validation catches errors before they reach production, and we publish new case studies in minutes. The site is our best sales pitch: what we sell is what we build with.
