Who packs the boxes

The one thing this site does

Comparison sites help you choose a website builder. There are a great many of them and some are very good. This is not one of them.

MovingDay starts one step later, at the point where you have already decided to leave and now have to actually do it — with three years of pages, a mailing list, a store and a domain that also delivers your email. That step is where the real damage happens, and it is barely written about because it is procedural, unglamorous and specific.

How a procedure gets published here

Migration instructions are not opinions. A wrong step costs somebody their content, their search traffic or a working checkout, and none of those are recoverable with an apology.

So every procedural claim on this site follows three rules.

• It traces to the platform’s own current help documentation. Not a third-party tutorial, not a video, not a forum answer. Where the vendor says something in its own words, that is what gets reported.
• Where we could not confirm a step at the source, the page says so. You will find sentences here reading “we could not confirm this” and “treat any specific date as unverified”. Those are not hedges. They are the honest state of the evidence, and they are more useful to you than a confident guess.
• Absence is reported as absence. If a platform has no export tool, we say it has no export tool rather than describing a workaround as though it were a feature.

Every fragile fact used in the guides is listed with its source in the site’s own reference file, and every page carries the date it was last re-walked.

What we will not do

We will not invent a UI flow. If a menu path is described here, it is because the vendor documents it. Screenshots age badly and menus move; instructions built on half-remembered interfaces are how people end up clicking the wrong destructive button.

We will not describe a migration path that does not exist. Several very popular builders trap content, and the industry’s habit of calling a manual retype a migration does readers real harm. Where a move is a rebuild, we call it a rebuild on the first line.

We will not fabricate anything. No invented benchmarks, no made-up timings, no testimonials, no user reviews.

We will not soften a warning to keep a partner happy. The two situations where that would be tempting — a platform with no export, and a platform being wound down — are exactly the two where a reader most needs the truth.

The disclosure, briefly

Some links here go to platforms that pay a commission if you start a plan through them. That funds the site. It does not affect a single step of any procedure, and it never will, because a procedure that has been bent to suit a partner is worthless to everybody including the partner.

Note which vendor is deliberately absent from our links: the builder we describe as having no export at all is not one we are paid to send you into. The full arrangement is on the affiliate disclosure page.

Tell us when something has moved

Platforms rename menus, retire panels and change export formats without announcements. When a step here stops matching what you see on screen, the page is wrong and we would like to know.

Write to the address on the contact page with the platform, the page and what you actually saw. Corrections are made quickly and the re-checked date on the page moves with them.

If you are starting a move now, the two places to begin are the plan for switching website builders and the moving-day checklist.
