Import your existing website

Give Buildy your current website address and it rebuilds your site in your project.

Already have a website? Import it into Buildy. Tell Buildy the address and it rebuilds your site in your project. Buildy keeps your text, images and page addresses, or redesigns it if you ask.

Steps

Create a new project, or open the one you want to use.
In chat, type: "Import my website from example.com." Add "Keep the same look" or "Give it a fresh design".
Buildy looks at your site and rebuilds it. Check it in Preview.
Ask for any page you still need: "Now rebuild the Services page."
To put the site on your domain, see Connect a domain you already own.

When you sign up, the questions also ask "Do you have a website now?" You can enter the address there and choose Rebuild it on Buildy, Let Buildy redesign it or Start fresh.

What carries over

Text, images and page addresses.
Not the behind-the-scenes parts: forms, logins, payments and bookings need to be set up again in Buildy. Ask for each one.

Common problems

Buildy only built the home page

That is the first step. Ask for the next pages by name.

Some text or prices are wrong

Buildy only uses what it can read on your site. Send the correct text in chat or attach a PDF with it.
