The Website Go-Live ProcessWe recommend that you read this section before you actually reach the ‘Go-Live’ stage, because there are a few things you need to be aware of, for the ‘Go-Live’ transition to be a smooth process.There are three important areas that you need to have set up before your website can 'go live':
Your domain name (what we call your URL- Uniform Resource Locator) is the address that people will use to find your website on the Internet. Your website address is usually in the form www.yourcompanyname.com When we load your website ‘live’ on the Internet we will point your domain name at your new website. If you have requested that we register a new name for you then we will have everything we need in order to make your website visible on the Internet- there is nothing further that you need to do. But if you already own a domain name, then you will need to do one of two things to make your website ‘live’:
If you have passed control of your domain name to www.artistechnologies.com then you will need to think about what email addresses you will require on an ongoing basis. Talk to your www.artistechnologies.com Internet consultant about your email requirements. Payment Gateway If you have an e-commerce website then as part of the ‘Plan’ process you would have discussed the processing of credit card transactions. If you are planning on manually processing credit card transactions then there is nothing further that you need to do. If you are planning on automating your transaction processing using a ‘payment gateway’, then you will need to ensure that you have an account set up with the payment gateway, and that it is ‘ready to go’. If you have any concerns about this please contact your www.artistechnologies.com Account Manager. |
