Website Creation Workflow

Build with intention.
Keep the reasoning.

A repeatable website workflow: a clear brief, deliberate design, separate copy passes, and a tested preview.

  • Open-source workflow
  • Copy gate tested
  • Source on GitHub

DRAFT

Meaning first

This workflow turns a project brief into a website preview.

The draft establishes the literal point before editing begins.

Humanizer is a separate writing layer

Connected, not blended
Surface

Surface Humanizer

Edits wording, punctuation, hype, filler, vague attribution, and mechanical sentence patterns.

.agents/skills/humanizer/
Structure

Structural Humanizer

Checks repeated takeaways, uniform section shapes, vague references, cadence, and overlong endings.

Site voice

Site voice

Restores product terms, legal caveats, accessible labels, and the page's intended professional register.

The scanners are a mechanical floor. They do not verify truth, authorship, accessibility, or publication readiness.

Optional tools and research credits

Dashboard, shadcn, and interviews are conditional. StoryScope is research attribution. See the source manifest.

Credits: original Humanizer and copy-scanner provenance. Authoring skills do not run in your browser.

From page brief to approval

5 decisions
  1. Inspect

    Read the current project, page, shared styles, routes, and deployment boundary.

  2. Direct

    Choose the audience, page job, tokens, layout, content order, and one subject-specific signature.

  3. Edit

    Draft for meaning, then run the surface, structural, and site-voice passes.

  4. Build

    Preserve the component stack and add motion only when it explains behavior or state.

  5. Verify

    Run the copy gate, exercise every advertised control, and publish only after approval.

Before a website goes live

Release checklist
Redesign from an accepted baseline

Review references, save a snapshot, and preserve shared branding, menus, and footers.

Clear layouts and readable controls

Put titles first, connect related content, simplify containers, and check button contrast in every state.

Design that fits the screen

Test short screens, enlarged text, keyboard access, contact, and project links.

Motion and loading

Measure resource use, pause hidden effects, and verify caching on the host.

Legal and privacy facts

Confirm legal identity, applicable disclosures, and actual provider arrangements before publication.

Original visuals and evidence

Review every download. Use original diagrams, not video screenshots; assess claims, not people.

Search and email

Verify canonical routes, metadata, sitemap, and email authentication. OpenSEO is an optional audit.

Working controls and release approval

Test controls, anchors, and downloads. Save a rollback snapshot; deploy only after approval.

Read the redesign guide.

Use the website workflow

Start with the README on GitHub.

  1. Choose the audience, page purpose, and a short copy budget.
  2. Apply the surface and structural writing passes, then restore the site's voice.
  3. Run the copy gate and test the page in a browser before publishing.

Release boundary

A clean gate is not approval.

The scanners catch defined patterns and density. Review still owns factual accuracy, accessibility, tone, browser behavior, and the decision to deploy.
