In Cloud Cannon the site needs to be moved out of For Purpose Organisation into the Clients own organisation. Ideally this should be completes a few days before going live, so that user permissions are enabled to update al content , links, file uploads etc .
Go to Partner dashboard
"+ New client" button from the Partner dashboard
entering the "Client organization name"
Clicking "Change plan ->" and selecting "Lite Plan"

Add FP Credit card to payment plan if requested
Go back to For Purpose Sites

Select “Organization to receive” from Dropdown (client organisation name from above)

Go to Partner dashboard
Select Client Organisation and new site and Accept Transfer request and confirm.
Check for sync issues
After transferring site:
In "Site Settings" > "Files" > "Source Syncing" Clicking the option to "Reset origin/main branch" - which took me to GitHub to re-verify CloudCannon for the repository, and then was able to sync.
Custom domain process
Custom domain added to cloudcannon.
Then make sure nameservers are updated in external dns provider.
DNS records to be managed by cloudcannon (this gives us free ssl certificate)
Need to add txt records in cloudcannon domain settings page
Check that www subdomain is pointing to root

Prelaunch checklist (WIP)
Bandwidth/Build issues?
Potentially a 1 month window where we need bigger plan for uploading images/pdfs
Devs to doublecheck that all components have image optimization functionality
Keep an eye on bandwidth build issues on this site and others going forward
