This is yet another reason to push forward the idea of static websites/webapps. There is no single argument to support the idea of using a database to power a 5-6 page website. Not even a blog with daily posts. How many sites out there have less than 10 pages, are updated maybe once per month, sport a contact form or newsletter subscription box? 90%? And how many of them use an insecure behemonth like WP or Joomla? My new model: client wants a pretty responsive theme, I get the HTML version of it. Turn into a template I can use to spit out a static site (from my homebrewed CMS). I tell clients your monthly support charges are $0. If you ever need updates I charge hourly (most never call in months). Some clients want "a list of something" say products. If small and won't grow: a static csv file that also gets munched by the homebrewed CMS. Large list? A BAAS service with API. I really don't care if the servers are gone/hacked/ransomware. Git clone, go.
