Web field notes / PL

Small notes.
Useful foundations.

A quiet corner of the web for practical ideas about simple websites, careful maintenance, and fewer moving parts.

01 / Keep it simple

A good page starts with less.

Readable type, clear links, and a small document go a long way. Static pages need no build process to explain an idea, and no third-party scripts to make it useful.

02 / Make changes reversible

Back up before you improve.

Keep a known-good copy, change one thing at a time, and check the result. A small, reversible update is easier to understand than a collection of unrelated fixes.

03 / Check the whole path

One signal is not the whole story.

A successful request is a useful starting point. Check the page, its secure connection, and the experience on a smaller screen before calling the work finished.
