I don't understand, as all WA sites are built on the WordPress platform. Your site appears to have been built on the Shopify platform.
If you didn't install Shopify yourself, you need to refer this issue to Site Support.
Thanks Phil - I don’t understand either - I’m not a fan of Shopify so would not have chosen this

Is there any advantage of building your website on the free one first then transferring it once you feel it's workable or build on the .com website
My belief is that you should go to a real dot com domain name, not a siterubix sub-domain, as soon as you are sure of your niche. This could be after you've built your website and have loaded some content, or it could be immediately.
I have around 30 websites and have never built one on a siterubix sub-domain.
Thanks Phil - I've got the .com domain name - is there any difference in the actual building or would one go through the same processes
You have to remember that a free website is a sub domain and difficult to rank. It is a perfect platform to try out a niche and decide whether affiliate marketing is for you .
Once you have decided it is for you and you are happy with your niche and know that over time you can make hundreds of articles, then is the time to buy a domain name.
Your own domain name is real estate and you can sell it on as a domain or a website, down the line. So the sooner you get going on that the better.
If you are not sure about your domain name go to https://claude.ai/chats and type in this prompt.
"Give me twenty available to purchase domain names in the xxxxx niche. Make them all a domain name and the shortest number of characters".
Once you have them if you are not happy with the selection then try
"Give me twenty more available.com names in the xxxx niche with the shortest number of characters and a SEO term in the URL .
Hope this helps
Thank you Catherine - I managed to get the exact .com domain name I want. I understand the domain name is real estate and that is why I don't like Shopify.
I'll keep your recommendations for further down the track
Thanks
Hi - first of all, you need to be absolutely certain that you have chosen a niche subject that you are going to stick with, because a domain name can't be changed.
So, if you are happy with that, then you should move to your .com domain, as ideally, you want to get your "real" site in front of Google.

As I am just at the beginning of building my website, and I've just upgraded to Premier + would I be better to wait till all the new bells and whistles are introduced early Dec
If it were me, I wouldn't wait. Time is precious :)
However, you have FANTASTIC responses here; kindly let us know if you require additional assistance.
I agree with Andre, but it might well be worth you watching the new training from the beginning. I will be doing the same even though I have been here since 2007
Continue to move forward and never put your business on hold. It is live and people are viewing the site. So continue with the training continue to apply what you are taught and strive forward. The changes will only enhance it further for you but the basics of creating content for your readers intent on your chosen niche will always remain.
So don't stop
wishing you well
Andre
As the saying goes, “Strike while the iron is hot!” Since you have started building your website, you should continue doing so. Keep the momentum going. Whatever will be launch will be an upgrade, so it does not really affect what you are doing right now!
Wishing you all the best in your online journey!
Cheers,

That would be about the worst idea you could have. Never put your business on hold. Keep building and following the training. The new tools will only help what you’ve already built. :)
Exactly. Everything lesson you learn will be that much beneficial to you as you're soon given even better tools for applying them :)
Not in my opinion. You learn more by doing than anything else and that experience will help you appreciate and get on top of the updates that much faster.
Thanks Phil - yes you are right - I've backtracked some of the learning as I didn't seem to think what I had was correct and yes I do learn by doing - onwards and upwards then!
