Model the publication deliberately

Define the fields an article needs: headline, slug, excerpt, body, category, tags, publication date, image, and alternative text. Keep the URL stable when a display title changes. Add archive pages only when they help readers discover a meaningful collection.

Topic pages and articles serve different purposes. Use a topic page for the broad concept and its next steps, then give each article a specific question. This produces a navigable publication rather than a pile of keyword variations.

Audit the static export

The official IPFS static-generator guide distinguishes exported pages from server-side features. Review search, forms, authentication, comments, and plugins before assuming they will work from a folder of files. Remove unavailable controls instead of publishing decorative buttons.

Preview the exported artifact, not just the CMS editor. Check whether images still use private media URLs or whether navigation depends on the original application. A good public release contains what a reader needs without borrowing an authenticated editing environment.

Control the publication process

Separate editorial access from authority over deployment, DNS, and content retention. Make the approved output identifiable, then deploy that same artifact through the supported delivery paths. Keep publication dates and canonical URLs consistent across pages and feeds.

Write a handoff procedure another editor can follow. Test a small correction and a staging preview without touching the live release. Preserve a previous version and document the rollback decision, because publishing includes responsibility for reversing a mistake.
