This final post gives you a low-stress routine for keeping your site current and reliable.
Weekly 10-Minute Routine
- Review new content for typos and broken links
- Archive outdated announcements
- Confirm contact details are still correct
- Check that recent posts/products use the intended
theme
Monthly Maintenance Pass
- Review navigation relevance (
_site.md) - Remove unused drafts or mark them clearly
- Refresh one key evergreen page (about, contact, or store)
- Verify third-party integrations still work
Release Hygiene
For each meaningful update:
- Use clear change notes in commits
- Keep changes small and focused
- Avoid editing many unrelated pages in one pass
Theme Maintenance
If you maintain multiple theme files:
- Keep naming predictable (
webgrid-theme-*.md) - Document when each theme is used
- Reuse token names to reduce drift
Backup + Recovery Basics
- Keep repository backups (remote + local)
- Ensure at least one other person can access deploy settings
- Record domain/DNS ownership in a shared doc
Graduation Checklist
When this feels easy, you're ready to:
- Add richer module behavior
- Automate more of the publish pipeline
- Delegate content editing to non-technical contributors safely
