Deploying the site

The site is built with MkDocs Material and hosted on Cloudflare Pages at https://tradelattice.ca.

One-time setup, in order

The domains are registered at GoDaddy. tradelattice.ca carries the Google Workspace mail records; those must survive the move.

1. Cloudflare → Add a site → tradelattice.ca (Free plan). Cloudflare scans existing records; confirm the five Google MX records below are listed before continuing. If any are missing, add them by hand.
2. GoDaddy → tradelattice.ca → Nameservers → Change to the two Cloudflare nameservers shown. Propagation takes minutes to a few hours; mail keeps flowing because the MX records are already in Cloudflare.
3. Workers & Pages → Create → Pages → Connect to Git → ollie-svg/tradelattice with the settings in the table below. First build takes about two minutes.
4. Pages project → Custom domains → Add tradelattice.ca. Cloudflare creates the CNAME automatically because the zone is on Cloudflare.
5. Repeat step 1 for tradelattice.org and tradelattice.net (no MX needed), move their nameservers at GoDaddy, then add one proxied A record @ → 192.0.2.1 on each so the zone resolves.
6. Bulk Redirects → Create list tradelattice-aliases with two entries: https://tradelattice.org/* → https://tradelattice.ca/${1} and https://tradelattice.net/* → https://tradelattice.ca/${1}, status 301, preserve query string. Create a rule that enables the list.

The Plausible tag lives in the extrahead block of docs/overrides/main.html:

<script defer data-domain="tradelattice.ca" src="https://plausible.io/js/script.js"></script>

Add tradelattice.ca as a site at plausible.io before launch, or the script reports nothing.
