Corporate marketing site
I took the company's own website off a page-builder and into a repo I deploy from the terminal.
The corporate site sat on a hosted page-builder. Editing meant logging into a GUI, and no agent could touch it. If the operating layer was going to hold the marketing seat, the flagship marketing asset could not stay a black box. It had to be code.
How it works
I rebuilt it in-house as an Astro static site on a bun runtime, with GitHub push-to-deploy to Cloudflare Pages. Push to main and Cloudflare rebuilds and ships in about thirty seconds. The design is a choice, not a template: deep pine, cream, and gold, Fraunces for display and Newsreader for body, owner-operator manifesto copy. I ran the full domain cutover myself too, moving nameservers to Cloudflare, staging DNS so email never dropped, and 301-redirecting the old domain to the new primary.
- A page-builder GUI traded for an Astro repo both agents and I can edit
- git push to live in about thirty seconds, no dashboard
- Full nameserver move to Cloudflare, business email preserved
- Old marketing domain permanently redirected to the new one
It is live in production with valid SSL, fully indexable, email intact. What is left is optional: a founder's-story page and a possible logo refresh, both on my own clock.
A web agency is a standing cost and a built-in delay. Trade it for a repo and a marketing change ships at the speed of a commit, with every fix permanent instead of re-briefed next quarter. That is one owner in the marketing-director chair, deploying from a terminal.
