Why build an online heritage archive at all?
Because digital brand expression is easy to lose. Homepages refresh, journal templates change, and social layouts shift. Asset libraries keep logos and photos; they do not keep the full page as published. A dated screenshot archive gives the organisation a memory of visual and verbal expression: how a product line was framed in year one versus year three, how a shop page looked before a redesign, which campaign language sat on the homepage in a given season. That memory supports brand governance, onboarding new designers, anniversary storytelling, and external researchers who study product companies online. Stillio’s job here is long-horizon capture of pages you choose, not daily panic monitoring. Set a cadence you can sustain (often weekly for cornerstone pages, denser around launches). The value compounds: year two of captures is more useful than month one because comparisons get richer.
