# Moore Sunny Daze — Migration Plan

- **Mockups:** https://mockup.iamgmb.com/mooresunnydaze/ — three theme options + admin dashboard
- **Deployment standard:** mockup.iamgmb.com for prototypes/design review, proposals.iamgmb.com for business documents

## Current State
| Asset | Provider | Details |
|-------|----------|---------|
| Domain | GoDaddy | mooresunnydaze.com |
| Website | Wix | mooresunnydaze.com, Wix-built |
| Email | Gmail | @gmail.com (exact address TBD) |
| Booking | VRBO + Airbnb | vrbo.com/1313017, Airbnb listing |
| Social | Facebook | facebook.com/mooresunnydaze |

## Phase 1: Domain Transfer (GoDaddy → Cloudflare)
**Timeline:** 5-7 days (ICANN-mandated transfer lock)

### Steps
1. **Unlock domain at GoDaddy**
   - GoDaddy Dashboard → Domain Settings → Turn off "Domain Lock"
   
2. **Get authorization code from GoDaddy**
   - Domain Settings → Transfer domain away → Copy auth code
   - Auth code valid for 15 days
   
3. **Initiate transfer at Cloudflare**
   - Cloudflare Dashboard → Domain Registration → Transfer Domains
   - Enter mooresunnydaze.com + auth code
   - Cost: $10.46 (.com transfer, adds 1 year to registration)
   
4. **Approve transfer**
   - GoDaddy sends confirmation email → approve
   - Optional: expedite by accepting at GoDaddy immediately
   
5. **Wait for transfer** (5 days typical)
   - Cloudflare auto-copies existing DNS records
   - Nameservers switch to Cloudflare automatically
   
6. **Verify DNS**
   - Check all records propagated
   - Enable DNSSEC (free at Cloudflare)
   - Keep proxy off until site is deployed (grey cloud)

## Phase 2: Website Migration (Wix → Us)
**Timeline:** After domain transfer + 24hr DNS propagation

### Steps
1. **Build new site** on our infrastructure
   - Serve from Core via Caddy
   - Domain: mooresunnydaze.com (A record → 152.53.33.195)
   - Static HTML landing page (single file) + booking portal pages
   
2. **DNS cutover**
   - Update A record for mooresunnydaze.com → Core IP
   - Add www CNAME → mooresunnydaze.com
   - Keep proxy off initially for Caddy ACME cert issuance
   
3. **SSL certificate**
   - Caddy auto-obtains Let's Encrypt cert on first request
   - Verify: curl -sI https://mooresunnydaze.com → 200
   
4. **Enable Cloudflare proxy** (optional, after cert valid)
   - Toggle orange cloud on A record
   - Switch to Full (strict) SSL in Cloudflare dashboard
   
5. **Post-migration cleanup**
   - Cancel Wix subscription (wait until site live + verified)
   - Export any Wix blog/content if needed
   - Archive old Wix design as reference

## Phase 3: Email Migration (Gmail → MXroute)
See separate email migration plan.

## Phase 4: Booking System (VRBO/Airbnb → Direct)
### Short-term (keep both)
- Link "Book Now" to our own booking page
- Keep VRBO/Airbnb listings live during transition
- Add "Book Direct & Save" messaging on our site

### Long-term (go direct)
- Build Stripe-integrated reservation system
- Remove/downgrade VRBO listing once direct bookings established
- Leverage existing Facebook following for direct booking marketing
- Offer returning guest discounts for direct bookings

## Phase 5: Ongoing
- Nightly backups to S3 via hermes-backup
- Uptime monitoring via Uptime Kuma
- SSL auto-renewal via Caddy
- Monthly domain renewal check (Cloudflare auto-renew)

## Risk Mitigation
| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|-----------|
| DNS propagation delay | Start transfer on Monday, complete before weekend |
| Wix SSL break during DNS cutover | Keep Wix site active until new cert issued |
| Email downtime during MX switch | Configure MXroute first, then change MX records |
| Booking loss during transition | Keep VRBO/Airbnb live for 60 days minimum |
| Domain transfer rejection | Verify domain unlocked + WHOIS privacy off at GoDaddy |
