DEPLOYMENT GUIDE.

The site deploys automatically. Push a file to GitHub, Vercel picks it up, and the site is live in about 30 seconds. No build step, no CLI, no terminal.

Pipeline

You edit HTML → Upload to GitHub → Vercel auto-deploys → ldw.build is updated (~30 sec)

How to Update the Site

Step 1: Get the updated file(s)

Usually Claude will generate updated HTML files during a conversation. Download them.

Step 2: Upload to GitHub

  1. Go to github.com/lonnell-spec/lw-brand-site
  2. Click "Add file" → "Upload files"
  3. Drag in the updated HTML file(s)
  4. GitHub will say the file(s) are being replaced — this is correct
  5. Type a commit message describing what changed
  6. Click "Commit changes"

Step 3: Verify

  1. Wait approximately 30 seconds
  2. Visit ldw.build and hard-refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R)
  3. Confirm the changes are live

Important Rules

How to Add a New Page

  1. Create a new .html file (follow existing page structure)
  2. Include the same <head> section (fonts, meta tags, styles)
  3. Include the full nav bar HTML at the top
  4. Include the footer HTML at the bottom
  5. Upload to GitHub
  6. Add a nav link to ALL existing pages
  7. Upload all modified files together in one commit

How to Roll Back a Change

If something breaks after an upload:

  1. Go to GitHub repo
  2. Click the changed file, then "History"
  3. Find the previous version and click "Raw"
  4. Copy content, paste into a new file, and re-upload

Alternatively, in the Vercel dashboard, you can instantly redeploy any previous deployment.
