Have gotten site feedback, human wise it is very positive.
Index/algo wise though is very different story, with undefined/missing headers in the html and undefined image
Htmlcss errors killing our indexibility?

Hi Matt,
Only advice I can offer is if you transferred your existing site, over WA site, it should be automatically a converted format change over or it can be an easy conversion to the html of WordPress format. I have not transferred any preexisting site over but so far, especially my own images I take and uploaded, have had no issues. I have been able to resize a few, for way less pixels on! I hope this has been of any help at all? Hope you are able to diffuse the issue!
All the best, John
Thanks man yeah it is my mind to do so, or attempt it least, just got to be careful as it is a live site for our existing business :)
Cheers,
Matt
Hi Matt,
As a heads-up, be very careful about importing your existing site to WordPress if it has been built on a different platform - especially if it's supporting your current business..!
Moving a website from one platform to another is a task that requires a lot of care and attention because the code, i.e. the PHP calls, the Javascript, the CSS selector and property names, the file structure - basically everything, will be different.
WordPress itself does not convert foreign code.
Even exporting just your content and importing it to WP will not give a clean result.
If you move your site to WA you will also need to change your DNS settings, as the server it resides on will be different.
Based on the information you gave I would suggest your best bet is to hire a developer to fix the current problems on your site - the ones you've listed are not difficult to fix, but it depends on whether other problems exist.
Of course, you could always learn HTML and do the job yourself if you're feeling adventurous - it's pretty simple to learn if you like that sort of thing!
Cheers,
Martin.
Thank you for the reply and yes I am being cautious, precisely for why you say as not damaging the site has to be paramount.
So yes it looks like i must learn the code :) or pay to have the code straightened out, which would be quicker, and as they are not errors in terms of the site appearance and are just some tweaks in the code editing, i may well hire a contractor for the quick fix and start learning code so i can resolve minor issues in the future myself
It is more an issue of time factors as i have a lot of content to create for our other sites which are going to be here ay WA and on wordpress.thankfully, rather than this other sites setup.
Anyways my thanks again for the salient advice.
Kind Regards,
Matt
