Hi Chuck,

Then when they're ready to go live with the Joomla, we put a index.php file in the website root directory (/web) that redirects from the root directory into that /web/cms directory.  Like this:

We used to do that but found that people complained that it screwed up SEO having a permanent redirect at the root of their website.
