+        <p>Welcome to <strong>Stattic</strong>, the lightweight, modern, static site generator that's decentralizing publishing and putting the power to create websites back into the hands of the community creating them.</p>
 <p>If you've ever been frustrated with the sluggishness, archaic architecture and endless database queries of traditional content management systems (yes, we're looking at you, <strong>WordPress</strong>), then Stattic is here to offer a better way forward.</p>
 <h2>What is Stattic?</h2>
 <p>Stattic is a <strong>static site generator</strong> designed for developers, content creators, and anyone who values <strong>speed</strong>, <strong>simplicity</strong>, and <strong>security</strong> in their website builds. Stattic takes your content, processes it with modern templating, and outputs pure <strong>static HTML</strong>, <strong>CSS</strong>, and <strong>JavaScript</strong> files that can be deployed anywhere – from simple web hosts to CDNs like Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or GitHub Pages.</p>
 <h3>Why Stattic?</h3>
 <p>Users demand <strong>speed</strong> and <strong>reliability</strong>, which is what Stattic excels at. While sites powered by WordPress often fall victim to slow database calls, bloated plugins, and constant security patches, Stattic keeps things lean and mean.</p>
 <p>Here's what you can expect when you build with Stattic:</p>
 <h3>1. <strong>Blazing Fast Page Loads</strong></h3>
-<p><img alt="Google Page Speed Insights" src="../images/google-pagespeed-insights.jpg" /></p>
-<p>With Stattic, you can forget about slow load times. <a href="https://stattic.site">Stattic</a> sites are <strong>static HTML</strong> at their core, meaning no server-side rendering or database calls are needed. Every page is pre-rendered and ready to be served instantly, resulting in blazing fast page loads. Say goodbye to that dreaded <strong>"waiting for the database"</strong> delay that can leave your visitors hanging on WordPress.</p>

 <h3>2. <strong>No Database, No Problem</strong></h3>
-<p>Databases are great until they aren't. When they go down, get corrupted, or become a security vulnerability, your entire site can go with them. Stattic doesn't need a database at all. That's right, your site is pure <strong>static files</strong> – HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This means less to go wrong and more reliability, especially under high traffic.</p>

+<p>That's right, your site is pure <strong>static files</strong> – HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This means less to go wrong while you receive more reliability, especially under high traffic.</p>
 <h3>3. <strong>Modern, Clean Code</strong></h3>
-<p>Stattic leverages modern web development practices like templating with <strong>Jinja2</strong>, a Python-powered templating engine. Your templates stay clean, reusable, and easy to maintain. You can apply DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principles to your layout, making design changes effortless across your site. Unlike WordPress, where themes can feel like tangled spaghetti code, Stattic keeps things modular and organized.</p>

 <h3>4. <strong>Security as a Standard</strong></h3>
-<p>By removing the need for dynamic server-side rendering and databases, you eliminate a huge number of potential attack vectors. Stattic websites are inherently more secure because there are no moving parts that can be exploited by hackers. No more worrying about outdated plugins or surprise security vulnerabilities that can make your WordPress site a target.</p>

It's lightweight and only includes what you need. If you want to integrate a new feature, you simply add it to the codebase – no plugins required, no bloat added.</p>
