Manual export vs RefactorWeb workflow

RefactorWeb is designed around a repeatable rebuild workflow, not a one-off manual export.

Manual editing is possible but fragile

A technical user can edit a raw export by hand, but the work quickly becomes brittle when content, routes, metadata, images, forms and legal pages need to change together.

RefactorWeb runs a repeatable process

The workflow asks for a reference URL and project notes. From there it creates an editable Astro rebuild, validates it, publishes a temporary preview and stores the artifact for download.

Payment belongs at download time

The client should be able to inspect the preview first. Payment unlocks the ZIP when the generated files are useful enough to continue manually.
