Change web provider
in just 5 steps

If you’re not satisfied with your website provider, it’s easy to switch to Art Division in just 5 steps…

Step 1

Notify your website provider

Let your current provider know you are switching – but be sure to take into account any tie-in period and contract obligations, and give them the required notice. Let us know if you need to wait a little longer .

Step 2

Sign a new contract

We’ll work with you to agree on a contract for your new website. This will include the features you choose, a design brief, required maintenance package, site structure and more – so you get the site you need.

Step 3

Obtain website 'A Record'

Next, you’ll need your old provider to supply your website’s ‘A Record’. This ensures we can use the same website domain when your new website goes live – (and preserves any domain authority and SEO value your website may have).

Step 4

Art Division builds your new website

We will build the new website according to your requirements, giving you time to review it and sign off when your are happy with the design and features.

Step 5

Your new website goes live

Once your website is complete, you are ready to go live. Our technical team completes a simple DNS update that connects your existing domain to your new website – so you can operate under the same domain name (but with a brand new website!)

Switching To Art Division FAQ

Still got questions about switching web providers? If so, we seek to answer these below…

There are many reasons why property professionals choose to switch web providers. Here are a few indicators that it might be a good time to switch to Art Division…

  • Support is not what it used to be – Perhaps your provider is failing to maintain your website properly, taking too long to reply or charging you for simple fixes.
  • Your website is old – Even if your website was great when it launched, it will need updating after approximately 4 years to include new features, remain secure and protect your performance.
  • You’re getting no leads – Your website must win you leads. If these have dropped off significantly over time, it’s a good idea to switch to a new, marketing-ready website designed for lead generation.
  • The design is outdated – Your site may look old and unprofessional, or have a confusing layout and structure. This makes it harder to convert customers and convey the right brand image.

Not if the migration is handled properly. We implement 301 redirects from the relevant URLs to new ones and ensure all SEO elements transfer correctly. Most well-executed migrations see minimal disruption, and many sites actually improve rankings because the new website has better technical foundations.

The actual migration takes approximately 48hrs, at which point your new website will be visible under your domain name.

The building of your website takes around 6-8 weeks depending on the site’s complexity and the amount of content. We’ll build your new site on a staging server so your current site stays live throughout. Once you approve everything, we schedule the switch during a quiet period to minimise any impact on your business.

We’ll ensure your property feed continues working without interruption, whatever CRM system you use. We’ll replicate or improve the integration so your listings update automatically and appear in real-time on your website.

Absolutely. Your domain name stays with you and we’ll point it to your new website. All email addresses remain unchanged, and we’ll ensure there’s minimal downtime during the transition.

No. Your property descriptions will transfer to the new website, and we will keep the on-site content you need. Simply indicate what content you want to keep, and will remove or replace the rest.

You are also free to rewrite the web content yourself and supply us with the new material, which we can insert into the website. If you don’t have time to write your web content, then we can do this for an additional fee.

We usually migrate one of your blogs to your new website as standard (not the entire backlog), though we can agree to do more if this is desirable.

 

We conduct thorough testing before launch and monitor your site especially closely for the first 48 hours after going live. If any issues arise, we’re on hand to fix them immediately.

Our pre and post live checklists ensure that minimal issues arise, and if they do, our developers are trained to fix these quickly.

We handle all the technical requirements including submitting your new sitemap to Google Search Console and setting up proper redirects. You don’t need to take any action yourself unless you want to announce the new site to your audience.

Yes. We build all sites to be fully responsive and optimised for speed. Most clients see significant improvements in loading times and mobile performance, which helps with both user experience and search rankings.

We provide ongoing hosting, security updates, regular backups, and technical support – based upon the maintenance package you choose. You’ll also have access to tutorials on managing your content, and we’re available for any updates, improvements, or issues that arise after launch.
