Many people end up with a site builder page because it came bundled with their domain. It was fine to get something online. Now customers are asking for more, and the layout options feel tight. Moving does not mean starting from scratch with the words and photos, because we can work from what you already have.
Domain and site are two separate things
A domain is the address; a site builder is a tool that happens to be attached to it. You can keep the address and replace what it shows. That is the move we make: we build your new site on our hosting and point your domain at it once you have approved the work.
Where the domain is registered does not have to change for this to work. If you bought it with a hosting bundle, check your account for a registrar or domains section so you know who holds it.
Quick audit before you hand it over
- ✓Where is the domain registered — find the renewal date and the account holder
- ✓Is email part of a bundle — some plans include mailboxes that depend on the account
- ✓Which pages bring in customers — tell us what to keep and what to drop
- ✓Do you pay for extras — note any add-ons billed monthly or yearly
How the rebuild goes
You send the address, your logo and photos and a sentence about what you want visitors to do. We write the copy, design the layout and build for small screens first. You review it and ask for changes through up to ten revision rounds.
When you approve it we set up the domain on the new site and keep the old one live until the switch is made. Website Care is $30/month and covers hosting, HTTPS, backups, uptime checks and up to 30 minutes of small edits.
What stays the same and what does not
- ✓Domain name — remains yours, always
- ✓Your wording and brand — reused where it works, rewritten where it does not
- ✓Builder layout — replaced with a faster, simpler design
- ✓Builder-only widgets — recreated for purpose rather than copied
What to expect, honestly
- ✓We do not edit inside the builder — your new site runs on our hosting
- ✓Bundled email may need separate attention — tell us how you use it
- ✓We never promise to recover content you cannot supply — send originals if you have them
