# Keep pages as data

By Erik Bergstedt, Agent Wranglers. Updated 2026-10-20.

- Level: Recommended
- Chapter: [Site architecture](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/website/site-architecture)
- Rule: Write each page as plain values (path, title, description, date, HTML, Markdown), not as a template full of logic.
- How: Keep one module or Markdown file per page. Run pages of the same kind through one function. Then a new page is new data, not copied markup.
- Check: Add a page of a kind that already exists. `git diff --stat` shows one new data file and no changed template.

Example:

```js
// pages/about.js
export const path = '/about';
export const title = 'About us';
export const description = 'Who we are, what we do and how to reach us.';
export const updated = '2026-10-20';
export const html = '<h1>About us</h1><p>We build fast websites.</p>';
export const markdown = '# About us\n\nWe build fast websites.';
```

```python
# pages/about.py: the same page as plain values in Python
path = "/about"
title = "About us"
description = "Who we are, what we do and how to reach us."
updated = "2026-10-20"
html = "<h1>About us</h1><p>We build fast websites.</p>"
markdown = "# About us\n\nWe build fast websites."
```
