## The answer, as recorded

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order:
> 
> **1. Cloudflare Pages / Workers - my default for agency static work.** Unlimited bandwidth on *every* tier including free, static asset requests don't count against you, and it sits on the largest CDN in the world. For an agency, the killer property is that a client site going viral doesn't generate a surprise invoice you have to explain. You can host a large portfolio of low-traffic client brochure sites at effectively zero marginal cost. Trade-off: rougher DX, uneven framework support, and build minutes (500/mo free, 5,000 on the $20 Pro plan) are the real constraint rather than traffic.
> 
> **2. Netlify - best all-round fit if your team is more than one person.** Pro is a flat ~$19-20/month for *unlimited* team members, versus Vercel's per-seat pricing. That single difference is usually decisive for agencies. It also bundles forms, identity, and scheduled functions, which covers the "client wants a contact form" request without you standing up a backend. Framework-agnostic, so a mixed Hugo/Astro/Eleventy/Next portfolio all lives in one place.
> 
> **3. Vercel - only when the project is genuinely Next.js.** Best-in-class image optimization,
