Deployment

Deploy to Cloudflare Pages

Step 1 — Prepare Files
Create Your Project Folder
Create a folder with these 4 files:
staunton-intelligence/
├── index.html              ← This file (landing page)
├── staunton_storyboard.html  ← Historical storyboard
├── flashpoint_augusta.html   ← Critical dashboard
└── staunton_archive.html     ← Session log
All files are self-contained. No images, no CSS files, no JS dependencies. Just HTML.
Step 2 — Cloudflare Pages
Upload to Cloudflare
Option A: Drag & Drop (Easiest)

1. Go to dash.cloudflare.com → Pages
2. Click "Create a project"
3. Choose "Upload assets"
4. Drag your staunton-intelligence/ folder
5. Click "Deploy"

Option B: GitHub Integration

1. Create a GitHub repo: staunton-intelligence
2. Push all 4 files to the repo
3. In Cloudflare Pages, connect to GitHub
4. Select your repo → "Begin setup"
5. Build settings: Framework preset = "None"
6. Deploy
Step 3 — Custom Domain
Get Your Own URL
Cloudflare gives you a free .pages.dev domain:
your-project-name.pages.dev

To use a custom domain:
1. Buy a domain (Cloudflare Registrar, Namecheap, etc.)
2. In Cloudflare Pages → Custom domains
3. Add your domain
4. Update DNS records (Cloudflare does this automatically)

Recommended: stauntonintel.pages.dev or augustawatch.pages.dev
Step 4 — Update & Maintain
Keep It Fresh
To update after council meetings:

Option A: Direct Upload
1. Edit your HTML files locally
2. Go to Cloudflare Pages dashboard
3. Click your project → "Create deployment"
4. Re-upload the folder

Option B: Git Push (if using GitHub)
1. Edit files locally
2. git add . && git commit -m "update" && git push
3. Cloudflare auto-deploys in ~1 minute

Pro tip: Use GitHub for version control. Every change is tracked. You can roll back if something breaks.
