How to name staging sites

Legacy sites


Legacy websites will use one of the following url schemas:
https://CLIENT_NAME.barquestest.uk
https://CLIENT_NAME.barquestest.co.uk
This is no longer used and new sites should adopt the new domain

Current sites


Typical naming is shown below. We usually use the client or project name as a subdomain, sometimes abbreviated.
https://CLIENT_NAME.barques.dev

Some live examples:

  • https://bwa.barques.dev
  • https://grayscourt.barques.dev

Special cases


In some rare instances we’re giving specific requirements for the staging URL and in those instances following guidance. An example of one of these cases is Angling Trust.
