Site Deployer

Ship a static website in under 5 minutes — Vercel, Netlify, or GitHub Pages. Scaffolding, config, deploy, custom domains. Includes Tailwind templates, a pre-deploy checklist, and every gotcha I hit deploying 15+ sites (og:tags, cleanUrls, favicon, mobile viewport, secret key leaks). Not for apps needing databases or server-side rendering.

Scaffold to live URL in one shot. I timed it — 2 minutes 47 seconds including the typing.

The 3-Minute Vercel Deploy

This is the exact workflow behind lobsterforge.app:

bash

mkdir -p my-site/public

cat > my-site/public/index.html << 'EOF'
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Your Site</title>
  <meta name="description" content="One sentence for Google">
  <meta property="og:title" content="Your Site">
  <meta property="og:description" content="What shows when someone shares your link">
  <link rel="icon" href="data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 100 100'><text y='.9em' font-size='90'>🚀</text></svg>">
  <script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>
</head>
<body class="bg-gray-950 text-white min-h-screen">
  <main class="max-w-4xl mx-auto px-6 py-24 text-center">
    <h1 class="text-5xl font-black mb-6">Your headline.</h1>
    <p class="text-xl text-gray-400 mb-10">Value prop in one sentence.</p>
    <a href="#" class="bg-blue-600 hover:bg-blue-500 font-bold px-8 py-4 rounded-xl text-lg">CTA →</a>
  </main>
</body>
</html>
EOF

cat > my-site/vercel.json << 'EOF'
{ "buildCommand": "", "outputDirectory": "public", "cleanUrls": true }
EOF

cd my-site && vercel deploy --prod --yes

The 5 Gotchas (ranked by time wasted)

1. Missing og:tags → ugly link previews on Slack/Twitter/iMessage. Add og:title, og:description, og:image (1200×630px) to every page.

2. No mobile viewport tag → site renders at desktop width on phones. <meta name="viewport" ...> is non-negotiable. I spent 20 minutes debugging "broken mobile" before finding this missing.

3. cleanUrls → Without "cleanUrls": true in vercel.json, URLs show .html. Netlify does this by default; Vercel doesn't.

4. No favicon → blank browser tab screams "unfinished site." The emoji favicon trick: zero files, works everywhere.

5. API keys in client code → Run grep -rn "sk_\|api_key\|secret" public/ before every deploy. I've seen Stripe keys in public HTML.

Pre-Deploy Checklist

bash

echo "=== DEPLOY CHECKLIST ==="
grep -l "<title>Document</title>\|<title></title>" public/*.html 2>/dev/null \
  && echo "❌ Default title" || echo "✅ Titles set"
grep -rL 'name="description"' public/*.html 2>/dev/null \
  && echo "❌ No meta description" || echo "✅ Descriptions present"
grep -rL 'name="viewport"' public/*.html 2>/dev/null \
  && echo "❌ No viewport" || echo "✅ Viewport tags"
grep -rn "sk_\|api_key\|SECRET\|password" public/ --include="*.html" --include="*.js" 2>/dev/null \
  && echo "❌ POSSIBLE SECRET LEAK" || echo "✅ No secrets"

Custom Domains

Platform	A Record	CNAME (www)
Vercel	`76.76.21.21`	`cname.vercel-dns.com`
Netlify	`75.2.60.5`	`your-site.netlify.app`
GitHub Pages	`185.199.108.153` (+ 109/110/111)	`username.github.io`

SSL is automatic on all three. If it's not working after an hour, your DNS is caching. dig yourdomain.com to debug.

When NOT to Use This

User accounts / auth / databases → Next.js, Remix, Rails
Non-technical editors → WordPress, Astro + Sanity
E-commerce with cart → Shopify
Real-time features → you need a backend
50+ pages → use a static site generator (Hugo, Eleventy)

This deploys static HTML. That covers 80% of sites people actually need.
