Inside the work
- 01Local
Build on my machine, preview locally. PHP, Node, static, whatever the product is.
- 02Test
Hit the page, check the copy, catch the miss before it goes live.
- 03Live
Package, upload, purge cache. Live is the last hop, not the first.
- Stand up a local stack (PHP 8, MariaDB, static servers) and keep it honest.
- Ship static and PHP to hosting: upload, cache purge, status endpoint.
- Routes, archives, .htaccess: the boring path that actually lands.
- Don’t touch live until local is right. Then ship.
