Move Your Website Off WordPress, Wix or Squarespace

How a move works, step by step

Here is the whole path, from the first call to your new site going live.

1. A free 30-minute call. Tell us about your old site and what you want to keep. We look at it and count the pages and posts that need to move.
2. A written estimate for the move. Moving content is hand work, billed by the hour. You see the hours and the price before anything starts.
3. You pick a package and a style. Choose a Site Builder package and a look from our template gallery, then pay the one-time build price.
4. The Site Builder builds your new site. It sets up your pages, with tap-to-call and email buttons, page titles, and schema markup.
5. We move your content by hand. Your dedicated web designer copies your real text and photos into the new pages, so your site still says what you want it to say.
6. You check the preview. Open it on your phone and computer. Ask for changes until it looks right.
7. We set up redirects. Each old page address gets a permanent (301) redirect to its new page, so old links and Google searches still land in the right place.
8. We point your domain when you say so. If BuzFind manages your domain, we connect it. If not, we send you the DNS records and help you add them. Your old site stays up until you approve the new one.
9. After launch, you can edit your words yourself. If we host your site, change your text any time from your dashboard. For anything else, open a support ticket.

What your new site can look like

This is a real sample site made with our Site Builder. The business is made up, so you can see a finished site without anyone's private details. Your site gets your own words, photos, and colors.

What you get, in writing

Before you pay, you should know exactly what you are buying. Here it is, with nothing hidden.

Included in every package

• A set number of pages: 2 (Web Presence), 4 (Business Website), 4 plus a blog (Blog Website), or 5 pages plus 20 product pages with a cart and Stripe checkout (E-Commerce). Extra pages are $29 each, and extra products are $75 each.
• A design built for phones first. You can open the preview on your own phone and computer before you approve it.
• A contact page with tap-to-call and email buttons. A contact form is not part of the packages, but we can add one as a custom extra, billed by the hour.
• An SEO-ready build: every page gets its own title and description, clean headings, schema markup, and a sitemap Google can read. Ongoing SEO work, like keyword research, content, and local SEO, is a separate service.
• An SSL certificate (the padlock and HTTPS), included for as long as we host your site. If you host it somewhere else, SSL is up to that host.
• If we host your site: hosting is $19 a month. The first month is paid at checkout with your build.
• Unlimited revisions to the preview before you approve it. Nothing goes live until you say so.

Help after launch, and what it costs

• Hosting ($19 a month) keeps your site online, with SSL and backups. It doesn't include changes.
• If we host your site, you can change the words on your pages yourself, any time, from your dashboard.
• Other changes after launch (new photos, a new service, a new page) for hosting or plan customers: $110 an hour, with a written estimate first. Just open a support ticket.
• No hosting or plan with us: $150 an hour for a single request, with a 1-hour minimum, then billed in 15-minute steps. You get a written estimate before we start.
• Several things to fix at once? Buy a block of hours: 5 hours for $625 ($125/hour) or 10 hours for $1,100 ($110/hour). Blocks are good for 12 months.

What you own

Your business's website is yours: the design, the code, and the words. If you choose self-hosting, you get the full source code when the site is delivered. If we host your site, ask any time and we send you a full copy. Your domain name should be registered in your name, with an email address you control.

Your part

• Buy your own domain name from any domain company and add the DNS records we give you, so it points to your new site. We do not sell domain names yet.
• Renew your domain name on time. If it lapses, your site and email stop working.
• Keep your hosting paid if we host your site.
• Keep your own copies of everything you send us: your logo, photos, and the words for your pages.
• Send us real photos and real facts about your business, and check that everything the site says is true before you approve it.
