Keeping Website Code Easy to Update
Simple habits that make a website easier to change later.
CodeMaintenanceWebsite
Good code is not only about being clever. It should also be easy to come back to.
For a website, that means keeping content in a clear place, naming files properly, and avoiding one-off sections when a reusable component would do the job.
What helps
Keep the page structure simple. Put repeated content in data files when possible. Write names that explain what the file or component is for.
Future updates become much easier when the project is organized in a way that makes sense.
