Static-First,
File-Native
Content Management
Publish durable HTML artifacts, not runtime APIs. Built for developers who value performance, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
Key Characteristics
Designed for longevity, debuggability, and operational clarity.
Static-First Publishing
User-facing pages are generated as final HTML at publish time. No runtime rendering, no request-time content APIs.
File-Native Architecture
Published content lives as files in object storage. HTML, metadata, and sitemap are first-class artifacts.
Deterministic SEO
Search engines and AI systems consume the same HTML users see. No dependency on JavaScript execution.
Clear System Separation
Admin is an application. User pages are documents. Clean boundaries, minimal attack surface.
Cloudflare-Native
Pages for delivery, R2 for content storage, Workers for interaction. Purpose-built for the edge.
AI-Assisted Workflows
Writing, translation, metadata generation. AI is a tool, not a runtime dependency.
Architecture Overview
A clear separation between application and documents.

ZeroPress does not render pages via APIs.
ZeroPress
publishes pages as files
.
Vision
"Published content should outlive frameworks, APIs, and runtimes."
Instead of optimizing for developer convenience alone, ZeroPress optimizes for longevity, debuggability, operational clarity, and content survivability.
Recoverable by Design
If you can rebuild it, you don't need to restore it.
Single Source of Truth
D1 stores canonical content and publishing intent. Everything else is derived.
Deterministic Publishing
Published pages are deterministic outputs of content + templates + build logic.
Failure Model
Infrastructure failures degrade into rebuild operations , not outages.
