Guides for simple sites.
Where do I start if I want to leave my website builder?
It depends on your builder and what the site does. Start with the guide for your platform below: each covers renewal prices and the safe order to cancel. If your site is simple, about 10 pages, the free check tells you whether the $99 move fits. If it sells products, takes bookings, has member logins or runs a large blog or CMS, staying on the builder is usually better.
