GitHub Pages Deployment - Dr. Gideon Landing Page

✅ Files Ready for Deployment

Your site is committed to Git and ready to deploy! All files are staged at:

C:\Users\MarieLexisDad\pai\Projects\dr-giddeon-landing

🚀 Deploy to GitHub Pages (5 Minutes)

Step 1: Create GitHub Repository

  1. Go to: https://github.com/new
  2. Repository name: dr-gideon-landing (or your preferred name)
  3. Description: Professional landing page for Dr. Gideon's AI training sessions
  4. Visibility: ✅ Public (required for free GitHub Pages)
  5. DO NOT initialize with README, .gitignore, or license (we already have these)
  6. Click "Create repository"

Step 2: Connect Your Local Repository to GitHub

After creating the repo, GitHub will show you commands. Run these in your terminal:

cd Projects/dr-giddeon-landing
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/dr-gideon-landing.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main

Replace YOUR_USERNAME with your actual GitHub username!

Step 3: Enable GitHub Pages

  1. Go to your repository on GitHub
  2. Click "Settings" tab
  3. Scroll down to "Pages" in the left sidebar
  4. Under "Source", select:
    • Branch: main
    • Folder: / (root)
  5. Click "Save"
  6. Wait 1-2 minutes for deployment

Step 4: Update FormSubmit Redirect URL

Once your site is live, you need to update the form redirect:

  1. GitHub Pages URL will be: https://YOUR_USERNAME.github.io/dr-gideon-landing/
  2. Open index.html in an editor
  3. Find line 50: <input type="hidden" name="_next" value="https://yourdomain.com/index.html#resources">
  4. Replace with: <input type="hidden" name="_next" value="https://YOUR_USERNAME.github.io/dr-gideon-landing/#resources">
  5. Save and commit: 
    git add index.html
git commit -m "Update FormSubmit redirect URL for GitHub Pages"
git push

📧 FormSubmit First-Time Setup

IMPORTANT: The first time someone submits the form, FormSubmit will send a confirmation email to williamgideonjr@gmail.com.

You MUST click the confirmation link to activate form submissions!

After that, every teacher submission will arrive automatically at williamgideonjr@gmail.com.

🎉 Your Site Will Be Live At:

https://YOUR_USERNAME.github.io/dr-gideon-landing/

🔧 Custom Domain (Optional)

Want to use a custom domain like aitraining.drgideon.com?

  1. Go to repository Settings → Pages
  2. Under "Custom domain", enter your domain
  3. Follow the DNS configuration instructions
  4. Update the FormSubmit _next URL to match your custom domain

🐛 Troubleshooting

Site not loading?

  • Wait 2-3 minutes after enabling GitHub Pages
  • Check Settings → Pages shows "Your site is live at..."
  • Verify branch is set to main and folder is / (root)

Form not working?

  • Check that you confirmed the FormSubmit activation email
  • Verify the _next URL matches your actual GitHub Pages URL
  • Check browser console for errors (F12)

PDF not downloading?

  • Make sure AI Cheatsheet for educators for CAAASA.pdf is in the root directory
  • Check that it's committed to Git: git ls-files | grep pdf
