The Static Website Launch Checklist
Review the generated files and the real host behavior before sending visitors to a new static release.
The Lab / Category
Deployment turns approved source into the files visitors actually receive. Identify the production build command, the output directory, and the host settings that connect them. Review the resulting artifact before uploading it or activating a release. A working development preview leaves questions about production paths, omitted drafts, missing assets, and the behavior of a directly loaded article URL.
Use the launch checklist to create a release routine that matches your site. Preserve a previous working version and record what changed. If the site relies on form processing or another service, verify that integration separately. The static publishing overview helps distinguish the files you deploy from the systems that may support them.
