If you use the DIY copy and paste method, you may note that you will lose the existing template of your website, or you might need to spend some time approximating the original template. The benefits however of doing this work, is that your new website menu will be dynamic and you will be able to add and remove pages from your website easily yourself. This is normally best achieved by doing the following.
-
Right click on the existing banner of your website, and then "save picture as"
-
Give it a name like "mywebsite-banner.jpg"
-
-
Select one of the editable banner templates.
-
Login to Web Widgets and go to design settings, then to banners
-
Upload your banner there.
-
You can also repeat these steps if you have a logo to copy and paste also.
- Then copy your content, page by page
- Select all the content from the source website
- Create a new page using "single design pages" typically, or "enquiry forms" for any pages with a contact form on them. (you may need our help with any forms)
- Copy over any images in the page, 1 by 1
- Right click on the original image from the original website, and then save picture as
- In the new page, delete the image even if you can see it, it might be referencing your old website.
- Use the image wizard to import your new picture
- Repeat all these steps until you have copied your website
-
Test until you are happy with your new website, once you are happy, then that is the time to go live and make the changes to your domain name to point to our web servers
