Assemblage / Domains

Every site gets a clean address as soon as it goes live: {name}.assemblage.place. When you want your own name, it takes two records and a little patience.

The address you start with

Publish and your site is live at a subdomain like studio.assemblage.place. You can rename it anytime. Type a name however you like and Assemblage tidies it up, so “My Studio!” becomes my-studio. For many practices, that address is all you will ever need.

Bringing your own domain

Have a domain like jenny.com? Add two records at your registrar. Assemblage shows you the exact values, with screenshots for the common registrars, so it is copy and paste.

RecordPoints to
www.jenny.com (CNAME)your site’s Assemblage address
jenny.com (apex)Assemblage’s ingress, which redirects to www

That is all you need to do. There are no certificate files and no extra records to track down.

What happens next

Assemblage checks your DNS from the outside and walks you through each step in plain language:

  1. Waiting on DNS. The records are still reaching servers around the world.
  2. Verifying. We can see them pointing at us.
  3. Securing. A certificate is issued and installed automatically, with no steps for you.
  4. Live. jenny.com serves your site over HTTPS.

This can take up to an hour, mostly waiting on DNS. If a record points the wrong way, you get a plain explanation of what we see and how to fix it.
