Moving from WordPress to a static site generator

My journey migrating from self-hosted WordPress to a static site generator (SSG).

I’ve blogged my entire experience converting to an SSG. Come back weekly for more content!

The where: Working with a static site generator

I knew what I wanted (ease-of-use) and didn’t want (“ease of use”) when building a site with static site generators (SSGs).

The what: Creating the content strategy for my site

It’s critical to structure, plan, and maintain your content. Working as writer, content strategist, and developer helped me understand how to orchestrate between the three roles.

The how: Building the site structure

I started my information architecture with the existing architecture of my WordPress site. Then I started to put all the content pieces together.

The why: Behind my SSG conversion project

I put myself in every role of building out a website to better understand how content is programmatically consumed and displayed.
