+    <p class="py-4">The goal of this project was to learn some new technologies and host the app as cheaply as possible. With this in mind I decided to go with a <Anchor Href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/products/app-service/static">Static Web App</Anchor> hosted on Microsoft Azure. Static Web Apps offer global distribution of static assets (the Blazor Webassembly app in this case) and offer integrated hosting for Azure Function App APIs.</p>
+    
+    <p class="py-4">Another cool feature of Static Web Apps is Azure's integration with GitHub actions to deploy both the client and server simultaneously and provide automatically deployed staging environments for pull-requests opened to the main branch. This made testing deployed changes much easier and cheaper than deploying an isolated testing/GA environment before releasing to the live version of the app.</p>
+    
+    <p class="py-4">Using Static Web Apps on Azure has meant that I have been able to build, deploy and serve this site and API completely free (with the exception of the domain name). The next thing on the roadmap is building a simple blog using an <Anchor Href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/products/azure-sql/database">Azure SQL database</Anchor> where I'll document the full process of writing and deploying this app so check back again soon.</p>
