Can I transfer the content from a previous site to my new one?
The CMS allows you to easily add content to your website, whether it is just general pages of information, articles, blogs, team profiles, resource files, slideshows, media, etc. It's easy and fast. We can automate some pages, e.g. Blogs or other pages with RSS feeds, database driven information, etc. But there is no automated way to transfer an entire site. Like anything of quality it takes old fashioned work. But generally you can copy and paste and recreate the content in a few hours. If you have a free lite version, populating the site will be completely in your hands. Pros can choose to add their own content or if you're too busy we can do it for you. And we would be happy to talk about the cost and time involved for a full service install. Of course you still have to provide the content, but we can get it online for you.
If you have a lot of images or documents or multimedia on your old site, we can discuss ways to batch import all this into your library. That can save a lot of time and give you a head start.
Will I get an email account and how many mailboxes can I have?
Can I get marketing materials designed to match my new site?
Gutensite was created by Crate Media, a high end design firm. We hope all Gutensite clients will consider utilizing our other branding, print design and marketing services. We regularly provide complete branding for our clients, including logos, business cards, letterheads, envelopes, postcards, brochures, annual reports, packaging, etc.
This is one benefit of being part of our community, you have preferred access to our team of designers and creative thinkers.
Will you handle management of my domain names?
Domain management is actually quite simple in theory, but can turn into a hassle over the long haul. For those clients that want to just forget about the details, we offer domain management services (see pricing chart for latest costs). Essentially, we transfer control of the domain into our account, and we make sure that it gets renewed every year, and stays pointing to your website. We also list our contact information for the domain, so you don't get spammed.
If you decide to do this yourself, you need to make sure you keep your credit card and contact information updated in your registrar account, year after year, so that they can automatically renew your domain when it expires. Otherwise, you risk losing your domain.
