Claric Engine Website Integration

Purpose

This README provides guidance for integrating the Claric Engine product site (claricengine.com) with your main studio/company site (farshard.com).

---

1. Domain Setup

• Register claricengine.com (if not already done)
• Optionally register claricengine.dev, claricengine.io, claricengine.games for defensive purposes
• Set up 301 redirects from any old/unused domains to claricengine.com
• Use Namecheap for registration and DNS management

2. Website Structure

• farshard.com: Main company/studio site (about, team, portfolio, news, contact)
• claricengine.com: Dedicated product site for the engine (features, docs, downloads, support, dev blog)
• Link both sites in their respective headers/footers ("Visit our studio" / "Try our engine")
• Use a shared design system or branding elements for consistency
• Consider a subdomain for the engine docs: docs.claricengine.com

3. Integration Steps

• Add navigation links between the studio and engine sites
• Prepare a landing page for claricengine.com (can be a copy of the current template, with branding and content updates)
• Add a "Powered by Claric Engine" badge to the studio site

4. Domain Transfer/Value

• If you own thymosengine.com, you may keep it for legacy/SEO/redirect value or transfer it to another registrar if preferred
• Keeping both claricengine.com and thymosengine.com is valuable for brand protection and potential future use

5. Cost-Effective Domain Strategy

• Start with .com for Claric Engine
• Add .dev/.io/.games as budget allows or as the brand grows
• Defensive registration of common misspellings is recommended if budget permits

6. Next Steps

• Register claricengine.com and set up basic landing page
• Update farshard.com to link to the engine
• Set up 301 redirects as needed
• Begin integrating "Claric Engine" into codebase, docs, and marketing
