People put this off because it sounds like a rebuild. In practice most of the work is reading through a draft of your own site and correcting the bits that have gone out of date since the last time anybody looked.
What moving actually involves
Paste the address of your current site. The pages are drafted from what is already there, so you start with your own services and your own wording rather than an empty template.
You then read it as a customer would and fix what is wrong. When it reads properly, you publish and point your domain here. Your old site stays live and untouched right up until that last step, so there is no window where nothing is online.
Your old content is read in, not retyped
A glazier who wrote three careful paragraphs about toughened glass in 2019 keeps those paragraphs. They arrive as the starting point and you edit them.
What changes is the shape around them. Each service gets its own page with a real heading and real text, prices sit in a structured service catalogue from Start at £99 a month, and opening hours stop being a line buried in a footer.
Keeping your domain and your email
You keep ownership of your domain throughout. Connecting it means adding a couple of DNS records, and we recognise most providers and show you the exact lines to enter.
We only touch the records that point the website. Your email stays with its current host and keeps arriving, which is the thing people most fear losing in a move and the thing least likely to be affected.
What you stop doing after the move
Managed hosting is part of every plan, so the maintenance list goes away. No server to keep current, no updates to apply, no plugin versions to reconcile, and no certificate renewal to remember, since HTTPS is issued and renewed automatically.
Backups run every night with the restore tested every night, which is usually more than the arrangement you are leaving. Email support with real people is included on every plan rather than sold as a tier.
When staying where you are is the right call
If your current site is fast, correct, easy for you to edit and able to take bookings, do not move. A switch should solve something specific, and being three years old is not a problem in itself.
If you have an agency that answers quickly and builds what you ask for, that is worth keeping too. The businesses this suits are the ones waiting a fortnight to change a price, or maintaining a site nobody enjoys maintaining.
