Deploying

Before you deploy#

• Replace placeholder people, customers, numbers and quotes (see Images, fonts and licences).
• Set your domain in canonical and social tags (Astro: site in astro.config.mjs).
• Connect your forms, or remove them.
• Delete pages you don't use and remove them from the menus.

HTML edition#

There is nothing to build: you publish the folder as it is.

# from the template folder
$ npx vercel
# then, when the preview looks right:
$ npx vercel --prod

# drag the folder onto app.netlify.com/drop, or:
$ npx netlify-cli deploy --dir . --prod

$ npx wrangler pages deploy . --project-name my-site

Astro edition#

Build command npm run build, output directory dist. All three hosts detect Astro when you connect a Git repository:

Add New → Project → import the repository
Framework preset: Astro (detected)
Build command: npm run build · Output directory: dist

Or from your machine: npx vercel

Add new site → Import an existing project → pick the repository
Build command: npm run build · Publish directory: dist

Or skip Git: npm run build, then drag dist/ onto app.netlify.com/drop

Workers & Pages → Create → Pages → Connect to Git
Framework preset: Astro
Build command: npm run build · Output directory: dist
Environment variable NODE_VERSION = 22 if the build uses an older Node

Or upload a build: npx wrangler pages deploy dist

Your domain#

Add the domain in your host's dashboard and follow its DNS instructions (usually a CNAME for www and an A or ALIAS record for the bare domain). HTTPS is automatic on all three.

Forms#

Template forms show their success message but send nothing until you connect them. Set the form's action to a form service such as Formspree or Basin, or use Netlify Forms if you host there.

Prompt pack builds#

If your agent built the site from a prompt pack, its deploy.md has steps for your stack and host. The agent never deploys or creates accounts without your go-ahead.
