Step one: prepare pages for the reading screen
Start by exporting every page at one consistent width and a readable file size, then name files in strict numeric order such as page-01, page-02. Check that lettering stays legible on a phone by viewing a page at small size before uploading. Decide whether the chapter reads as vertical scroll or paged turns and keep that choice for the whole series. Worked example: an artist with a twelve-page chapter finds that tiny captions disappear on mobile, so she enlarges the lettering by a few points and re-exports before anything goes live.

Step two: build the chapter page around orientation
Give the chapter a clear title, a number, a one-sentence summary and a short author note that tells newcomers where they are. Add a cover image that matches the story tone, and place previous and next links in obvious spots at the top and bottom. Mention content considerations in plain words if the story deals with heavy themes. In the same example, the artist labels her upload Chapter 1, writes a two-line summary, notes that the series is a quiet fantasy about a lighthouse, and confirms the first page is the first thing a visitor sees.

Step three: release, review and plan the next update
Before publishing, preview the full chapter as a stranger would, tapping through every page on both a phone and a laptop. Fix ordering errors, broken links and missing alt descriptions, then publish and share the chapter link with a short invitation to start at page one. Pick a realistic update rhythm and state it on the series page. The artist in our example schedules her next chapter for two weeks later, adds that date to the page, and notes reader comments to guide small improvements in pacing and layout.
