PaphTech — This Website

Overview

PaphTech.com is our own platform — designed, built, and deployed entirely in-house. Built with Flask and Python, it features a contact/audit request form, Resend email integration, SQLite database with persistent Railway Volume storage, dark theme branding, and a full Cloudflare security stack including WAF, rate limiting, and CSP nonce headers.

The Problem

We needed a professional web presence that demonstrated our own capabilities — a site that was fast, secure, and visually distinctive. Off-the-shelf solutions couldn't meet our security and customisation requirements.

The Solution

Built a custom Flask application with a component-based CSS architecture, deployed on Railway with a Cloudflare tunnel. Email is handled via Resend's HTTP API to avoid SMTP port blocking. All security headers are injected via both Flask middleware and a Cloudflare Snippet for defence-in-depth.
