Anyone know how to install this product on a web page? I already have a domain name and web host for having a web page, but just need help putting our product on one of our pages. Or if someone can point me in the right direction I'm happy to do the research and leg work.

notes from twitter 5/21:

The app should stay on Heroku, we just need to point the domain name at it.

I think the domain is all you need. On the Heroku side you'd want to set the domain as an alias for the Heroku app's domain

Yeah, that!

and probably add some content pages, and some branding on the design side

I bet Heroku has docs for pointing domain names at your Heroku app.

It'll require the Heroku app admin to do it

You'd have to do it the other way around

Set the other singing as an alias to heroku
Domain*
Joe Cellucci
IIRC it's a C name record

Cname record I think is what you want, it's like a transparent redirect
Rick Winfrey
But Heroku admin panel will let you set that up from my last recollection

Otherwise an A name record you can use if you don't want to redirect. That part might require heroku admin stuff

i won't make a separate website; we'll have the domain point to heroku (i think that's how it works, or vice versa)
