The Websites area holds every website your organization owns or manages, together with the technical details behind it: servers, hosting, domain registration, and SSL certificates. It is the place to put the information that otherwise lives only in one developer's head.

Click the building icon with your organization's name in the top-right corner and choose Our Websites.

Adding a Website

1. Click Add New. Argenta creates the record and opens the Website Workspace on Website Details.
2. Enter the Website Title (required) and the Launch Date (required).
3. Fill in the rest as you have it, then save.

Website Details

• Website Title (required) and Launch Date (required)
• Current Status - where the site is in its life
• Website URL DEV, Website URL TEST, and Website URL PROD - all three environments, so nobody has to guess which address is live
• Primary Developer or Business Analyst and Designer, Business Analyst or Secondary Developer - who to call
• Site Admin/CMS URL, Site Admin/CMS User ID, and Site Admin/CMS Password - how to get into the content management system
• Chapter, Division, and Department where your organization uses them

Lock Records That Hold Credentials

Because Website Details can hold a CMS login, treat these records as sensitive. Lock This Record at the top of the page restricts who can open it at all, Set As View Only stops edits, and the Record Permissions page grants access person by person. Do this when you create the record, not after you paste the password in.

The Technical Pages

The rest of the workspace is where the infrastructure detail goes, each on its own page:

• Web & Database Servers - what the site runs on
• Hosting Provider - who hosts it and the account details
• Domain Name Registration - where the domain is registered and when it renews
• SSL Certificates - certificates and their expiry, which is the one that takes a site down when it lapses
• Website Spec Lists - the specifications for the site
• Related Files and Notes - contracts, designs, and anything else worth keeping
• Record Permissions - who can view or edit

Why Fill All of This In

The value shows up the day the person who built the site is unavailable and the domain is about to expire. Recording the registrar, the hosting account, and the certificate expiry when everything is calm is what makes that day uneventful.
