Go Live with headful
To take your project live, first set it to Public in the Dashboard under Project Settings. Next, add a Custom Domain by clicking the appropriate field and entering your domain. Then, update the DNS settings with your domain hosting provider. Create a CNAME record pointing to _dns.headful.io. Without this step, your website won't function as expected.The DNS update can take between one and 24 hours.
Tip: If your domain provider only allows a subdomain in the CNAME, you can redirect your domain using services like redirect.pizza.
Tip: Save your dashboard domain securely to maintain access. You can revert to the old domain if needed and regain immediate access to your project.
Once your site is accessible via your domain, you can optionally allow Google to index the site by uploading a robots.txt file in the Media Archive. Here’s a template you can use. Without this step, users can access your site, but it won’t be found on Google.
Cookie Settings: If you already have a cookie provider, you can insert the script for the cookie banner in the Dashboardunder Project Settings in the Custom Code tab in the ADD CUSTOM CODE TO THE HEAD field. If you don’t have a provider yet, consider using our trusted partner Cookiebot by Usercentrics.
In the final step, update the SEO title of your site. Select the SEO tab and enter your custom title.
Your website is live! 🥳
