Fully operational, all the important stuff (text editors, analytics, pictures hosting...), nice themes, well indexed by google, zero maintenance, free, and unlimited traffic.

middleman -> s3 -> cloudfront. About $0.15/mo. Pros: Generally works well, speedy enough, free ssl with Cloudfront, cheap for many sites (most hosts charge per site which catches me out for little projects). I've mostly got the process figured out now... Cons: not easy or quick to set up, lots of steps to get right, AWS is a terrible UI, Cloudfront invalidations are apparently sent by carrier pigeon so asset hashing…

Any website refresh our developer in the US does now is usually available to look at within a minute here in Australia.
Deployment from git, Hugo build on server, free HTTPS with Lets Encrypt and free for my basic usage.

Zero maintenance on WordPress? What do you do? I have several updates all the time + themes and plugins. I do like WordPress though
