How we use Vercel

Vercel hosts most of our sites. Every push to the main branch builds and goes live about a minute later, with a preview link for every other branch.

Vercel's public homepage — Vercel's own public page, captured Oct 30, 2026. We show the vendor's page, not our account.

The actual workflow

The AI works on a branch, checks the preview link in a real browser, then merges when it is right.
Deploys are batched: one commit per finished piece of work, not one per tweak, because every build costs.
After a deploy, a check loads the live page and confirms the change is actually there.

What it replaced

A single server we had to patch and babysit.

Rough cost for a setup like ours$20–$40/mo on the Pro plan for a small team.

List price (Oct 27, 2026)Hobby free. Pro $20/mo per developer seat.

Tips

Batch commits. Rapid small pushes mean rapid small build charges.
Always confirm on the live URL. "Deployed" in the dashboard is not "the page changed".

Gotchas

Usage-based extras can surprise you on a busy month.
It is easy to deploy the wrong folder or project if you have many sites.
