Already have a website? Good. You know what you don’t want.
That’s a useful place to start. Tell us what bothers you about the current site, and we’ll build the new one around fixing it.
01 · How a rebuild works
Keep what still works.
Here’s how a rebuild goes, from your old content to launch day.
Keep the good parts
We can reuse the copy and photos you already have. Whatever still works comes along, in a design that fits your business.
Or start fresh
If the old site never felt like your business, we start from scratch. You answer a short questionnaire, and we do the rest.
The same-day swap
When you approve the new site, it goes live and the old one comes down on the same day. Your address points to exactly one website the whole time.
A complete sample website for a construction business.
02 · Your domain comes with you
Keep your web address.
Your domain is yours, and switching to us doesn’t change that. Bring the one you have, or register a new one from your dashboard.
Bring the domain you own
Keep the domain you already use.
- Tell us where the domain is registered and we handle the connection.
- The registration stays in your name.
- We coordinate the switch so the new site replaces the old one cleanly.
Or buy a fresh one through us
Start with a new domain.
- We help you choose and register an available name.
- We keep the registration current while you’re with us.
- You own it, and we transfer it at no charge if you leave.
And your email?
It keeps working. We check the existing email setup before the site moves and leave it in place.
What about my Google ranking?
We can’t promise rankings. Nobody can.
We redirect your old page addresses to the new ones and keep the essential search information in place during the move.
03 · Leaving is allowed too
If you leave, you take everything with you.
You own the site, including the design, the copy and the domain. We run it for you. If you ever move on, we want leaving to feel as easy as joining did.
The export
Your whole site in one download
Request an export and we package the site and its assets into a portable download for your next host.
The grace period
Thirty days to move
After you cancel, your site stays online for 30 days, so you can move it when it suits you.
The hand-off
We help you move out
Reply to any email from us and we’ll guide you through the migration, so nothing breaks for your visitors on the way out.
04 · Coming from a builder
Switching from a specific builder?
We compare MantelMarketing with Squarespace, Wix, Webflow and GoDaddy: what each does well and when each is the better choice.
05 · One more thing
Mid-contract with an agency?
It happens. The build stalls while the retainer keeps billing. Write to us and we’ll tell you straight whether it’s smarter to wait out the contract or start the switch now. The advice is free either way.
The second website is the easy one.
Keep your domain and the content that works. Live in as little as three days.
