Transfer Your Site to Bluepark

Make the switch with no disruption to sales

It could be that you already own a site which is not yet configured for ecommerce. Or it could be that your existing online shop would benefit from the usability, speed and finesse of Bluepark's ecommerce software solutions. It might even be the case that you're spending large sums of money, unnecessarily, paying a third party to update your site content.

We recognise that it can be a daunting prospect to transfer a site from one Web hosting provider to another, which is why we are able to provide exclusive temporary development areas to businesses wishing to maintain their existing online presence. Your current site will remain in place for your customers, allowing the sales process to continue undisturbed whilst your brand new site is in development. Once the site is perfected, tested and ready to be deployed, a simple DNS change will affect a seamless transition from the old site to the new.

We also appreciate that you will most likely be concerned about the effect on your search engine rankings. This is why our software enables you to set up "301 permanent redirects" from the old page URLs to the new URLs. This ensures that page rankings are maintained throughout the transitional period.

Do it yourself or consult with our Design Partners

Should you wish to maintain the overall branding, look and feel of your current site, this will not pose a problem. Bluepark's highly advanced Template system is capable of replicating virtually any site design. We would be very happy to recommend one of our accredited Design Partners who will undertake the transfer of the Template on your behalf, enabling you to start work on your page content and product database immediately. Throughout the process, we will be on-hand to help as you become familiar with the software.

If you have a large product portfolio associated with your current store, simply export the entire database to a CSV-formatted spreadsheet for easy import into Bluepark's system. There is absolutely no need to worry about the ordering of columns within the file, Bluepark can create an import schema tailored just for you. If you're looking to standardise image sizes throughout the site, simply upload the largest image and let Bluepark create the others to your exact specification. Remember, you're not just recreating your existing site, you're launching the next version - new, improved and upgraded.
