# Day‑0 Step‑by‑Step (Non‑Technical)

This guide is **tap‑by‑tap**. No coding. Do steps **in order**. You can print this.

---

## 1) Make your Gmail

1. On your phone or computer, open: `accounts.google.com/signup`.
2. First & last name: **Trudi** **Mayberry**.
3. Username: **northernremotenotary** (or any you prefer). → Next.
4. Password: write it down; turn on **2‑Step Verification** (Settings → Security → 2‑Step Verification) and add your **(253) 210‑6587**.
5. Done. Your email is **[northernremotenotary@gmail.com](mailto:northernremotenotary@gmail.com)**.

**Why:** used for website, Google Business Profile, Stripe receipts.

## 2) Publish your website — Cloudflare Pages (Super Simple)

> You already have the file in the canvas: **Day‑0 Website — Northern Remote Notary (light meadow + color accents)** → download it as **`index.html`**.

**A. Create your account**

1. Open **dash.cloudflare.com** → **Sign Up** (free) → confirm your email.

**B. Open Pages**
2\) In the left menu, click **Workers & Pages** → **Pages**.
• If you only see **Pages**, click that.

**C. Create a project**
3\) Click **Create a project**.
4\) Click **Upload assets** (do **not** choose Git).
5\) Click **Select assets** → pick your **`index.html`** file.
• If it asks for a *folder*, create a new folder on your desktop called **site**, move `index.html` into it, then select the **site** folder.

**D. Name & deploy**
6\) Project name: **northern-remote-notary** (any name is fine).
7\) Click **Deploy**. Wait for the green check.

**E. Test your live link**
8\) Click **Visit site**. Your link looks like: `https://YOURNAME.pages.dev`.
9\) You should see your site with **Book · Call · Text · Pay with Cash App**.

**(Optional later) Custom domain**
10\) In your Pages project: **Settings → Domains → Set up a domain** → follow the prompts. You can stay on the free `pages.dev` link for now.

**Troubleshooting**

* **Can’t find Pages?** Left menu → **Workers & Pages** → **Pages**.
* **Says “must be a directory”** → use the **site** folder trick in step 5.
* **404 after deploy** → make sure the file is named exactly **index.html** (all lowercase).
* **White screen** → refresh; if still blank, re-upload the **light meadow + color accents** file from the canvas.

## 3) Create your Google Business Profile (GBP)

1. On your phone/computer go to **google.com/business** → **Manage now**.
2. Business name: **Northern Remote Notary**.
3. Category: **Notary public**.
4. “Do you want to add a location customers can visit?” → **No** (service‑area business).
5. Service areas: **King County, Pierce County, Snohomish County, Thurston County, Lewis County**.
6. Phone: **(253) 210‑6587**. Website: paste your **pages.dev** link from step 2.
7. Hours: **8am–8pm daily** (change later if needed).
8. Verification: follow Google’s prompts (text/postcard/video). Finish.
9. After verification: **Edit profile** → **Add services**: Remote Online Notarization (RON), Electronic In‑Person (IPEN), Mobile Notary. Turn on **Messaging**.

**Tip:** ask every happy client to leave a review from your GBP link.

## 4) Set up payments (Stripe)

1. Go to **dashboard.stripe.com/register** → create account with your new Gmail.
2. In **Products**:

   * **remote\_notarial\_act** — price **\$25** (per WA cap).
   * **tech\_kba\_fee** — price **\$15** (or your choice).
3. In **Payments → Settings → Checkout**: enable **Payment Links**.
4. Create a **Payment Link** that includes both items. Copy the link.
5. Open your website file later to paste this link where it says **BOOKING\_LINK** (I can do it for you when you’re ready).

**Now:** you can take card prepayments.

---

## 5) Booking (Cal.com — optional today)

1. Go to **cal.com** → **Sign up**.
2. Create an **Event Type**: “Remote Notarial Act (RON)” → 30 min duration → buffer 15 min → online meeting.
3. Connect **Stripe** inside Cal.com (so payment is taken before booking).
4. Copy your **booking link**. I’ll insert it into the website where **BOOKING\_LINK** is.

---

## 6) Print blank WA certificates (in Microsoft Word)

1. Open the canvas doc **“WA Certificate Templates — Northern Remote Notary (Blank)”**.
2. Select the form you need (e.g., **Jurat (RON)**) → copy the gray box text.
3. Open **Microsoft Word** → paste → set **Margins: Narrow**.
4. Insert your **e‑seal**:

   * Open the canvas **Electronic Notary Seal** file → right‑click the **rectangular** or **round** SVG → **Save As…**.
   * In Word: **Insert → Pictures → This Device** → choose the SVG.
   * Resize: drag a corner until it looks right (about 1.6 inches wide for rectangular; 1.6 inches tall for round).
5. Add your signature (draw with your mouse or sign after printing).
6. **File → Save As → PDF**. Print and attach to the customer’s document.

---

## 7) Answering calls & video (today vs later)

* **Today (no extra cost):** Calls from Google will ring your **cell**. Start a session by sending your **Cal.com** link via text or email.
* **Later (built‑in video):** Your portal will have an **Answer** button and integrated video room (LiveKit). Recording is automatic and stored for **10 years**.

---

## 8) Cash App button (already done)

* Your website has **Pay with Cash App** buttons (header, contact section, footer). They link to `https://cash.app/$spoodyboo`.

---

## 9) If you ever need the Command Prompt (later only)

> You can skip this for now. This is for the video system server when you’re ready.

**Windows steps (PowerShell) — copy/paste only**

1. Install **Windows Terminal** from Microsoft Store (if you don’t have it).
2. Create a free **Oracle Cloud** account and launch a small **Ubuntu** server (Always Free). Save the **public IP**.
3. In **PowerShell**, connect:

   ```powershell
   ssh ubuntu@YOUR_SERVER_IP
   ```
4. On the server, paste these (one block at a time):

   ```bash
   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y docker.io coturn
   sudo systemctl enable docker --now
   # LiveKit server
   sudo docker run -d --name livekit -p 7880:7880 -p 7881:7881 -p 7882-7980:7882-7980/udp \
     -e LIVEKIT_API_KEY=lk_api -e LIVEKIT_API_SECRET=lk_secret \
     -e LIVEKIT_KEYS=lk_api:lk_secret livekit/livekit-server:latest
   # TURN server (coturn) basic config
   sudo bash -c 'cat >/etc/turnserver.conf <<EOF
   listening-port=3478
   fingerprint
   lt-cred-mech
   realm=ron.northernremote (set your domain later)
   user=turn:turnpass
   total-quota=120
   stale-nonce=600
   no-stdout-log
   EOF'
   sudo systemctl enable coturn --now
   ```
5. That’s it. I’ll wire your portal to this later.
