I have another business website that was designed by a web developer but I want to move it away from how it is as it's all coded and difficult for us to make changes.
How easy is it to move the entire website to Salient so it is easier for us to manage and create.
You would have to recreate the site using what Salient offers. Some things will not be the same as there is no direct replacement for what was on your previous site, meaning you will need to make compromises.
Of course, everything is running on WordPress so you will be able to update your content whenever you need so that's a plus. You will however need to learn a bit of Wordpress - https://www.wpbeginner.com/guides/
The move will not really be easy and will take a while so it's best to keep the current site running until you have done the move.

Hi Michael,

Hope this clears things up.
Thanks for that,
So I'll have to build one as a draft won't I?
I'm wondering how we can use our website address on the new one.
Hello Michael,
You will have to rebuild it.
To transfer the domain to the new site, please refer to this guide:https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/.
Thanks.
