Nantin Baba Ashram

A deliberately tiny static Hindi site for an ashram — 21 KB, no build step, no maintenance.

This site is no longer online. The domain currently returns a Vercel DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND error — the hosting was taken down after handover, which is the organisation's decision to make. The build and the signals recorded below were verified while it was live; they are kept here rather than quietly deleted.

The engineering

Static HTML deployed to Vercel, built on Bootstrap 5 with jQuery slim and Popper — the whole document is roughly 21 KB, has no application framework and no build pipeline, so it will still render correctly with no intervention years from now.

In plain language

Gives the ashram a permanent, free-to-run web presence that loads instantly even on a weak rural connection.

The problem

What needed solving

A community organisation cannot carry an annual maintenance contract, and it cannot afford a site that breaks the first time a framework has a breaking release.

The approach

How it was built

  • Choose boring, permanent technology deliberately — static HTML and a stable CSS framework, no build step to rot.

  • Keep the payload under a few tens of kilobytes so the site is usable on a weak mobile connection in the hills.

  • Deploy to a platform with a free tier and automatic TLS so there is no renewal to forget.

The outcome

What it produced

  • No dependency upgrade treadmill and no recurring hosting bill.
  • Loads on a poor connection, which is the actual constraint for this audience.
