You're here so I'll charitably assume you've managed a web server ever.

There is no such thing as 'static'.

Yes there is. And I am the admin of multiple webservers. What you are right about is that the content being static does not mean the work load is zero

If you're building a mobile app with a few noises, then it's static. You might get updates to the OS API once in a while, but there's no ongoing work. I'm fine giving you a fixed fee, as we've always done until everybody became crazy about subscriptions.
