How it works: migrating a website in a few easy steps
STEP 1:
Website assessment and discussions
First, we need to carry out a full assessment of the website in question and then have detailed discussions with you about your reasons for looking to migrate, how much of the current website will be migrated, what changes (if any) will be made to the new website including your vision and ultimate goals for the new website, etc.
STEP 2:
Recommending the right website builder
Based on our discussions and understanding of what is expected of the new website, we will discuss the most suitable platform for your website. If you already have a hosting account or you already purchased your domain with a company that also offers website services (such as website hosting), we shall assess that company to ensure that their website hosting services meets the requirements of your website needs.
STEP 3:
Setting up an account
Assuming you do not already have a hosting account for the new destination platform, we shall guide you to setup an account using your own details so that you have 100% ownership of the account and its website(s).
We shall also guide you to purchase a subscription plan that suits your type and size of website based on our discussions.
If you already have an account with a suitable website builder, we shall guide you through the next steps to purchase the right website hosting subscription if applicable.
STEP 4:
Putting together contents for the website
By website contents or website copy as sometimes called, we are referring to the information such as texts, images, files or documents, videos, etc. that will be added to the different pages of the website.
In many instances, website migrations usually involve using the existing contents (or most of the contents) of the current website for the new destination website. In other cases, entirely new contents or some updates to existing contents are expected.
Help with images:
With the texts provided by you, we can help you find suitable images to go with those texts. Lots of our clients actually prefer this option because as designers we are better equipped to find the most suitable images to accompany and compliment our clients messaging strategy.
STEP 5:
Granting access to the account
With the account setup and website contents in place, we shall guide you on how to grant us relevant access to both the current website and the new destination website.
These are typically limited access that restricts us to only the website builder and/or selective account tools needed to build and launch a website. Full account ownership and access belongs to you.
You are free to revoke our access when the work is completed and re-grant such access in the future if or when you need our assistance. We will only advise that you leave us with access if you have subscribed to our retainer and maintenance services where we need an established access to maintain and updates your websites regularly.
STEP 6:
Migrating the website
The website is to be migrated as discussed with revisions and changes made along the way.
While working on the website, we shall share our step-by-step progress with you and request your feedback with recommendation for necessary changes. We shall make such changes and present that step to you again for a follow up revision and further changes if any.
This approach is adored by our clients because it engages them with their preferences throughout the process and ensures that they are fully satisfied with work done step-by-step from start to completion and launch.
Upon completion, we shall provide you with necessary guidance on how to edit and update the website and also provide you with information for future support.
