I keep public figures’ websites online through the news cycle

Sheet 01-07 — For public personalities

A site that survives the news cycle: fast under load, easy to update at midnight, kept online for years — through several redesigns with the same people behind it.

01 — What you get

The parts list

Part 01

Fast under load

Static pages served from the edge. A trending moment is a cache hit, not an outage.

Part 02

Update at midnight

Statements, schedules and press releases published from a phone in minutes.

Part 03

Iterations without starting over

Redesigns on the same content, so years of statements and media stay put.

Part 04

Security & monitoring

Hardened, watched and patched — public figures attract attention of every kind.

Part 05

Media archive

Press releases, speeches, photos and video, searchable and linkable.

Part 06

Care

One person to call, who already knows the site.

03 — How it goes

Six steps, one dimension line

  1. 01Audit

    What you have, what it costs, what breaks.

  2. 02Content model

    Collections, fields, roles — agreed before any design.

  3. 03Design

    Drawn on a grid, approved on real content.

  4. 04Build

    Payload + Astro, or Bricks + ACSS when WordPress fits.

  5. 05Migrate & launch

    URL map preserved, redirects tested, DNS cut over.

  6. 06Care

    Hosting, backups, monitoring, updates — for years.

04 — Fit check

Is this the right sheet?

This is for you if
  • Your site goes down exactly when people look for it.
  • Your team needs to publish fast without breaking anything.
  • You want the same hands on the site for years, not a new agency every cycle.
Not for you if
  • You need social media management — I run the website, not the accounts.
Can you work with our designer?
Yes. The Kiko Pangilinan site went through several iterations with designer Liz Reyes.
What happens on a big news day?
The edge serves cached pages, the monitor watches the origin, and I am on call.
