Basically,
- A CNAME record for
www.rmws.com
pointing tormws.netlify.app

instead ofrmws.com
.

Also, for your CMS:
- A CNAME record for

pointing toadminrmws.netlify.app
.
Just a note, it will be best if all of these are not proxied through Cloudflare, meaning that the cloud icon is not orange. See: [Support Guide] What problems could occur when using Cloudflare in front of Netlify?
Also, if you happen to be on a High-Performance Edge enterprise plan, you will have a custom subdomain to point to.
