# 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`](../../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._
## Legal & Insurance
- 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/`.
