02 · SNS Digital — Scaffold / Research / TODO

Status: Planned · Tagline: Engineered for the Cloud Entity: SNS Digital LLC (operating subsidiary of SnS Network Solutions Holdings LLC) Liability tier: Medium (professional E&O — all remote/keyboard work) Signature accent: Sky #38BDF8 Formal brief: ../../divisions/sns-digital.md

Consolidates: former Web + Software + Cloud divisions into one entity. If it's code, cloud, or a website — it's Digital.

Scope

Cloud infrastructure

  • AWS/Azure architecture and deployment
  • Hybrid infrastructure (on-prem ↔ cloud) and migrations
  • Infrastructure-as-code, automation, CI/CD
  • Cloud networking, security, cost optimization
  • Backup, DR, business-continuity in the cloud

Web & hosting

  • Website design and development (open-source stacks)
  • Managed/self-hosted hosting and domains
  • Email and DNS setup
  • Performance, SEO fundamentals, accessibility compliance
  • Maintenance and content update workflows

Custom software

  • Custom web/business applications
  • Business process automation and internal tooling
  • API integrations between existing systems
  • Data pipelines, reporting, dashboards
  • Scripting/automation handed off with documentation

Boundary Rules

  • Build, don't maintain. Project/build work lives here. Recurring managed contracts (hosting SLAs, monitoring, helpdesk) belong to SNS Support.
  • Not physical. On-site networking, servers, cabling, security cameras belong to SNS Networking.
  • IP terms matter. The parent favors client code ownership (open-standards principle) — specify who owns delivered code in every contract.
  • "SNS" collision. Also = AWS Simple Notification Service — keep technical proposals/docs unambiguous.

TODO → Plan

  • Define the standard tech stack: Hugo/static, WordPress (if forced), Docker Compose
  • Standardize IaC tooling (Terraform) + CI/CD baseline (Gitea Actions + KESTRA)
  • AWS landing-zone / account-structure templates
  • Standard contract with explicit IP/ownership + licensing terms — attorney review
  • Pricing models: project fixed-bid, time-and-materials, hosting/maintenance tiers
  • Accessibility (WCAG) baseline as standard deliverable for web work
  • Get E&O / professional liability insurance quotes
  • Finalize combined logo/branding

TODO → Launch

  • Form SNS Digital LLC on INBiz (owner: Holdings LLC) · EIN · operating agreement
  • Separate business bank account
  • Bind E&O / professional liability insurance
  • Domain/DNS/email provisioning workflow

Milestones

TBD — populate once the plan above is complete.

  • All professional/E&O liability. No physical premises risk.
  • Define cloud account ownership up front per client (client-owned preferred).
  • Store formation docs, client contracts (IP terms), and insurance in docs/.
