Vercel
The hosting and deployment layer that makes this site feel live, fast and easy to update once the code foundations are in place.
Vercel is the platform I use to host and deploy this site. It takes code from GitHub and turns it into a live production site with minimal friction.
I use it for deployments, environment variable management, domain connection and making sure changes move from local work into something publicly accessible.
It works especially well when you want a clean path from code to live site and do not want hosting and deployment to become a project in their own right.
It is simple once it is set up, but there is still some learning involved around domains, environment variables and how the deployment flow actually works.Setting up my benmurr.com domain in Vercel was complicated to, thankfully it’s a one off task
Useful for people building sites or apps who want hosting to feel modern, fast and closely connected to the development workflow.
Vercel has been one of the most confidence-building tools in this process because it made publishing feel understandable rather than intimidating.
