Websites, Web Services & Web Apps.

Client Websites.

For every new client implementation you will set up a new development, test and production website.

Depending on your infrastucture, size or volume requirements, or even contractual factors will determine the best setup option for the client websites.

Common configurations are...

Setup on a single common web server.
Separated by environmental factors. (development, test, production)
Separated by client.

The default Simplicity naming convention for client websites follows.

Production Client Website...

www.client-name.country-code.simplicitycrm.com

Test Client Website...

test.client-name.country-code.simplicitycrm.com

Development Client Website...

dev.client-name.country-code.simplicitycrm.com

Any additional domains or sub-domains can be added to each client website as required. Where SSL certificates are required for these websites there may be additional IP addresses that will need to be provisioned if multiple domain names are in effect.

Each client website will have the following web applications configured. These make up the client specific services that the varying Simplicity interfaces use. They also deliver the required assets used within media or online content. (emails, online newsletters, online forms)
