I’m about to build out a new site for a client, let’s called them ClientX.
Their domain is clientx.ie, but at the moment another company controls this domain, we’ll just point it to the new site on our server once it’s ready to go.
We will build the site on a subdomain: clientx.mycompanydomain.com This is standard for how we work.
This site is going to be almost 100% Alloy. I’ve used Alloy a lot now, but I’m still not 100% sure on how things like URL’s and domain, and in particular domain changes, will affect things between building it on clientx.mycompanydomain.com and then the final domain name that’ll be clientx.ie.
Can anyone (Adam?) offer any advice?
I should say once the site is out of dev and ready to go live we won’t be moving it from clientx.mycompanydomain.com just pointing clientx.ie to it.
I can’t answer too many questions about how the domain will be pointed to the new site and/or how our server is setup as it’s not an area I get involved with, I outsource that. But, I will ask any questions needed of the guys who look after that end of things for us.
Thanks.
