helmstack-marketing

Static placeholder site for helmstack.app and tradehelm.app, served via Cloudflare Pages.

Single file. No build step. No tracking. No JS. Loads in under 50ms from any edge.

Files

• index.html — single-page placeholder with brand mark, tagline, and mailto: CTA.
• robots.txt — Disallow: / while invite-only. Remove or flip to Allow: / when ready for public launch.
• README.md — this file. Not served (Cloudflare Pages serves files in the root).

Deploy (one-time, ~10 minutes)

1. Initialize a git repo in this folder and push to GitHub.

   cd helmstack-marketing
   git init
   git add .
   git commit -m "Initial: Helmstack placeholder"
   gh repo create helmstack-marketing --public --source=. --push

   (Or use the GitHub web UI to create the repo and push manually.)

2. Connect Cloudflare Pages to the repo.

   • Cloudflare dashboard → Workers & Pages → Create → Pages → Connect to Git
   • Select helmstack-marketing
   • Framework preset: None
   • Build command: (leave empty)
   • Build output directory: /
   • Save and deploy.

3. Attach custom domains.

   • In the Pages project → Custom domains → Add:
     • helmstack.app
     • www.helmstack.app
     • tradehelm.app
     • www.tradehelm.app
   • Cloudflare auto-creates the correct CNAMEs in each domain's DNS zone and removes the orphan GoDaddy parking A records.

4. Verify.

   • Within ~2 minutes, all four URLs resolve to the placeholder over HTTPS with a valid Cloudflare-issued cert.

Updates

Any push to main triggers an automatic rebuild and redeploys to all attached domains within ~30 seconds. No CI to manage.

What lives here vs the real marketing site (later)

This is the placeholder. Once the cassette substrate is up and you're ready for real public messaging, this repo evolves into the actual marketing site:

• More pages (about, pricing, docs, security, legal)
• Open Graph image
• Better typography hierarchy
• Maybe a screenshot or short video
• Switch robots.txt to allow indexing

For now: brand mark + tagline + CTA + mailto. That's enough to look intentional rather than parked.
