If I transfer a domain to WA hosting, and the site is already built.. Can I still log in through the site manager the same as any site that I started here? What if it isn't a w
It's not a WP site. But I believe I convinced the owner that a complete overhaul was a better plan than simply doing a couple of updates. Bigger bucks for me if I get him to fully commit to a site redo!
I was doing a little pre-research and no matter which CMS identifier site I used, it came up as CMS not found. So the site isn't on a CMS to begin with, which explains why he was having so much trouble. It's a band website that needs to be updated constantly with new concert dates, new music, merchandise.... and the bright idea of the person that built this site for these guys was to develop a site that they wouldn't have a clue how to get into themselves to update? Smart for continued business, I guess. It isn't very courteous though, especially if whoever this person is won't stay on top of the updates! They play several shows every single month and there hasn't been a new show date on the site since early June!!!
I'm going to build them the site that they need and then show them how to simply add shows and reply to comments. Then maybe refer them to WA.
Many people recently including me have been asking about transferring a non WordPress website to site Rubix. Marion Black seems to be the most knowledgeable on the subject and she has a way to do it. I have many websites in fact most websites are not WordPress. I was making plenty of money on those sites before I came to WA. I still do.
Hello,
You can best compare it with a sort of copy, paste, but in the meantime the process also performs a "find and replace all" task with the old and the new domain name...
And that's it...

Yeah, the bulkier comment below explains the direction things are going. Sounds like this band really didn't like what the person before had going for them and they decided they'd rather pay me to build WP from scratch.
Thanks,
