Peet Aviation

The Challenge

Peet Aviation’s previous WordPress site was functional and reliable, but as time went on it became clear that:

• The design no longer reflected the brand’s modern, high-tech positioning.

• WordPress updates and plugin maintenance were unnecessary for such a rarely edited site.

• Page load times were slower than ideal, particularly on mobile devices.

With minimal content updates over the years, the client didn’t need the complexity of a CMS. The goal was to deliver a fresh, fast, future-proof website without sacrificing user experience or search performance.

The Solution

Mars Digital rebuilt the Peet Aviation website from the ground up as a fully static HTML, CSS, and PHP site, eliminating the database and backend overhead typical of WordPress.

This approach delivered:

• Lightning-fast load times: every page is pre-rendered and served instantly from the server.

• Near-zero maintenance: no plugin updates, no CMS security patches, no downtime.

• Better security: fewer points of entry for bots and attacks.

• Optimised media and code: we used WebP and AVIF compression, clean semantic HTML, and minimal scripts.

The site is deployed on a modern, high-performance server stack with global CDN caching, ensuring consistently fast speeds for visitors worldwide.

The Results

The difference was dramatic. Independent tests from Google, Pingdom, and GTmetrix showed near-perfect results:

Google Lighthouse

• Performance: 100/100 (Desktop & Mobile)

• SEO: 100/100

• Best Practices: 100/100

• Accessibility: 92/100

Pingdom (Sydney Server)

• Load Time: 186ms

• Performance Grade: 100/100

• Page Size: 214KB

• Requests: 11

GTmetrix

• Performance: 95%

• Structure: 96%

• Largest Contentful Paint: 1.4s

• Total Blocking Time: 0ms

These results speak for themselves. Peet Aviation’s new site now loads in under a second, even on mobile connections, offering users an exceptional browsing experience and reinforcing the company’s reputation for professionalism and reliability.

Why Static Was the Right Choice

For a website that changes infrequently, static architecture is unbeatable:

• No CMS bloat: only clean, lightweight code.

• Instant global load times: ideal for international audiences.

• Unbreakable security: no login forms or databases to exploit.

• Ultra-low hosting costs: fewer moving parts, faster delivery.

By focusing on what truly matters: performance, design, and stability, Mars Digital gave Peet Aviation a modern web presence that will last for years without constant updates or maintenance.
