Why this page exists
We build this site with the same care we bring to client work, so it should show its receipts. This page explains how yerbabuena.digital is built and run — the stack, the data it collects, and who maintains it.
Stack
The site is Astro, built as a static site with near-zero JavaScript on most pages, deployed on Vercel. It is trilingual in English, Spanish and French from a single i18n source, so every string ships in all three languages at once. There is no CMS: content lives in version-controlled files and every change goes through a pull request.
Analytics & privacy
We use Plausible, a cookieless, EU-hosted analytics tool, and it only loads after you accept it in the cookie banner. There are no advertising trackers on this site, and we do not sell data — yours or anyone else's.
How it's maintained
Routine updates — content drafts, translations, dependency bumps — are agent-assisted. Every change is reviewed by a human before it ships: the same human-in-the-loop standard we recommend to clients. Before publishing pages with external citations we run scripts/check-links.mjs so dead URLs cannot ship unnoticed. Periodic overnight site upgrades on a branch — audit, copy, diagrams, tooling — with human review in the morning are how we dogfood that workflow on our own site.
Cost, honestly
The entire site runs on a few euros a month. Modern static tooling is enough for most marketing sites — you rarely need more than that.
Site redesign (pre-production)
This garden-voice redesign is reviewed on new-web.yerbabuena.digital before it replaces the current production site. Same stack, same human-in-the-loop maintenance — the colophon describes how both environments are built.
