+
+## 🌐 Access Information
+
+**Internal URL:** http://10.16.67.161:3000
+**Local URL:** http://localhost:3000
+
+The website is currently running in production mode with all optimizations enabled.
+
+## 🚀 How to Deploy to a Public URL
+
+Since the Vercel CLI requires browser authentication (which isn't available in this environment), here are your options to make it publicly accessible:
+
+### Option 1: Vercel (Recommended - Free & Fast)
+1. Go to [vercel.com](https://vercel.com)
+2. Click "Add New Project" 
+3. Import your GitHub repository: `samcornor/webiste`
+4. Select the `launch-website` branch
+5. Vercel will auto-detect Next.js settings
+6. Configure environment variables from `.env.production`:
+   - `NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL=https://your-domain.vercel.app`
+   - `NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_NAME=Dr. Sarah Martinez Therapy`
+   - `NEXT_PUBLIC_PHONE=+1-555-123-4567`
+   - `NEXT_PUBLIC_EMAIL=contact@sarahmartinez.com`
+   - `NEXT_PUBLIC_ADDRESS=123 Wellness Ave, Suite 200, San Francisco, CA 94102`
+   - `NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_BOOKING=true`
+   - `NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_NEWSLETTER=true`
+7. Click "Deploy" - Your site will be live in minutes!
+
+### Option 2: Netlify (Alternative - Free)
+1. Go to [netlify.com](https://netlify.com)
+2. Drag and drop your `.next` folder (after running `npm run build`)
+3. Or connect your GitHub repository
+
+### Option 3: Railway/Render (Easy Deployment)
+1. Go to [railway.app](https://railway.app) or [render.com](https://render.com)
+2. Connect your GitHub repository
+3. Select the `launch-website` branch
+4. Set build command: `npm run build`
+5. Set start command: `npm start`
+
