How it works

Code and posts live in different places, and that's the point.

A Hettie site has two halves. Knowing which is which tells you how to change anything.

The code

The design, the layout and the page templates. It's a normal folder on your computer that your agent edits. Nothing changes on the live site until someone runs hettie publish.

The content

Posts, pages, images, tags, menus and settings. They live in your site's database, not in the folder. You change them in the editor, or Claude changes them over MCP. They go live the moment they're published. No publish command needed.

Why it matters

  • Publishing new code never touches your posts.
  • hettie undo puts old code back, and your posts stay.
  • Writing a post never needs a build.

Where it runs

Hettie runs every site for you, on a fast global network. Each site gets its own database and its own storage for images. You never create a hosting account. Pages are cached at the edge and refreshed when you publish.
