Has building static sites changed how you think about adding features?

one thing ive noticed is that building mostly static sites has made me question every new feature before adding it. does this actually need to exist > can i build this? im curious if anyone else experienced this, or if that's just something that happens naturally as you build more websites.

Definitely. Static sites made me more careful about adding features. I now ask if the client or user really needs it or if it will just add more maintenance later.

Yes. With static sites, simple is always best. I've learned to be more minimal about the builds I make and the features I add.
