Moving from WordPress to a static site generator

I decided to see if AI was going to take my job.

Writing this blog post wasn’t part of my plan.

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

I modularized my content to display it in the right place at the right time—a major tenet of content strategy.

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

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.

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