QUICK START GUIDE.

This page is for Jadyn or anyone who just needs to know HOW to do things without the technical backstory. No architecture diagrams, no API keys — just the steps.

How to Update Content on the Site

The site pulls content from Notion databases. When you update a Notion database, the site updates automatically (within 15 minutes) or instantly if you hit the sync link.

Update Photos

  1. Open the LDW — Photo Gallery database in Notion
  2. Toggle Active on/off to show or hide photos
  3. Change Display Order numbers to reorder
  4. Change Placement tags to control which page the photo appears on
  5. Hit the sync link (below) or wait 15 minutes

Update Instagram Content

  1. Open the LDW Site — Instagram database in Notion
  2. Add new rows with image URL, caption, and post URL
  3. Set Visible to checked
  4. Hit the sync link or wait 15 minutes

Update Content Hub / YouTube

  1. Open the LDW Site — Content Hub database in Notion
  2. Add new entries with title, YouTube URL, description, and category
  3. Set Visible to checked and Featured if it should be highlighted
  4. Hit the sync link or wait 15 minutes

The Sync Link

Bookmark this and hit it whenever you make changes:

Sync Now →

Takes about 5 seconds. You’ll see a JSON response with "success": true and counts for each content type.

How to Update Site Code (HTML files)

Only do this when Lonnell or Claude provides updated HTML files.

  1. Download the file(s) Claude provides
  2. Go to github.com/lonnell-spec/lw-brand-site
  3. Click "Add file" → "Upload files"
  4. Drag in the new file(s)
  5. It will say the file is being replaced — that’s correct
  6. Type a short description of what changed
  7. Click "Commit changes"
  8. Wait 30 seconds, then check ldw.build — hard refresh with Ctrl+Shift+R

If Something Breaks

  1. Site looks wrong after upload: Go to Vercel dashboard, find the previous deployment, click “Redeploy”
  2. Sync returns an error: Check that the Notion integration (“LDW Site Sync”) is still connected to all databases
  3. Forms not working: Check Supabase dashboard for the tables
  4. Need help: Start a new chat with Claude and say “I need help with ldw.build”
