Clean URL for development

To have a nice url for local development, edit your hosts file and insert

The gruntfile contains a deploy task to push the files to the deployment server. A ftppass.json file is neccessary for deployment!

• create a ftpass.json file in the project's root
• paste following contents

{
  "user": {
    "username": "foo",
    "password": "bar"
  }
}

For the actual login informations, please ask :-)

Happy development!
