Meeting
Chris & Nathan | Take the Website Live
Gist
Chris took Publicom Inc.'s new website live on Flywheel with Nathan Ross, adding domains, updating DNS/A/CNAME records, and installing an SSL certificate. Mid-call it emerged Nathan wants to move the domain from Ionos entirely over to GoDaddy, so they launched live on Ionos first (near-zero downtime) and left the registrar migration for Nathan to do later, ideally next week when both are back from being out of town. Site went live successfully with valid SSL; remaining work is small dev tweaks and the domain transfer, plus Nathan considering Mickey Mellen for ongoing maintenance.

What came out of it
Decisions4
- Took the Publicom Inc. website live on Ionos DNS now rather than waiting for the GoDaddy domain transfer
- Nathan will migrate the domain from Ionos to GoDaddy on his own timeline after go-live
- Left the QA feedback tool active but visible only to logged-in users
- Kept the old Flywheel backup site URL rather than deleting it
Risks and blockers3
- Domain transfer from Ionos to GoDaddy could cause downtime or DNS propagation delays
- Chris is out of town Wednesday through the weekend and Nathan is too, limiting availability for urgent fixes
- Some DNS records were unclear/unlabeled (extra grayed-out records) and required guesswork
