Switching from WordPress or Wix
Already have a site on WordPress, Wix or Squarespace? You don't have to start over. Ember can use your current site as a starting point.
Steps
- Open Ember and start a new project.
- Paste your current website address and say: "Make my new site from this one. Keep my words and photos."
- Ember reads your public pages and builds a fresh version. Check each page in the preview.
- Fix anything by asking, like "Add my new hours", or tap the part of the page and say what to change.
- Selling things? Set up your store in OpenSign, then ask Ember to design how it looks.
- When you're happy, publish. To use your own domain, follow the copy-and-paste steps Ember shows you.
- Keep your old site running until the new one is live on your domain. Then cancel the old plan.
Good to know
- Ember copies your own content. Only use words and photos you own.
- Things like contact forms and booking links may need a quick check after the move.
- Your Google ranking can wobble for a few weeks after any move. The weekly Google check-up helps it settle.
- Your site stays yours. You can download its files anytime.
