Why www redirects matters for a garage
24 Mar 2024
How a garage deals with www redirects — and what usually goes wrong.
The problem: nameservers that still list a freelancer. This is where www redirects breaks for a garage.
We keep a playbook for www redirects. Step one is always the same: pull the live record with dig, compare it to what the admin panel shows, and fix the mismatch.
Half the meeting with a garage was explaining what www redirects is. The other half was agreeing that nameservers that still list a freelancer should have been fixed a year ago.
Launch day for a garage is usually light. Week three is when leftover tags, fonts, and staging URLs show up. nameservers that still list a freelancer is the usual passenger.
A free certificate and a correct www redirects record will do more for a garage than a redesign that ships with nameservers that still list a freelancer still in place.
We billed a garage two hours for www redirects. The previous agency billed forty hours and left nameservers that still list a freelancer behind. Complexity is not expertise.
