The redesign first
A new design in minutes. The move, when you're ready.
Nothing changes on your current site until you point your domain at Zarla.
Paste your address, see the redesign
Zarla reads your pages, keeps your words, photos, logo and colors, and rebuilds the site in a design made for your trade.
A few minutesMake it yours by chat
Type the changes: "rewrite the about page in a warmer tone", "add a booking page". Nothing to pay until you go live.
No cardThen migrate: domain, addresses, redirects
Point your domain at Zarla. Zarla keeps your old page addresses where it can and redirects the ones that change, helping you keep the Google standing you've built.
When you're readyWhat comes across in the redesign
Your words, your photos, your page addresses
Your words
The text on every page comes across. Your home page is arranged into the new design, so it may be shortened to fit; every other page keeps at least 80% of its words.
Your pages
Home, about, services, contact and the rest of your menu and sitemap, up to 50 pages, plus up to 100 blog posts, each as its own page.
Your photos and logo
The photos used in the new design are copied across, your logo goes in the header, and your brand colors are sampled from it.
Your business details
Services, opening hours, phone, email, address and the areas you serve are picked up and placed where visitors look for them.
Match Style
Point Zarla at a site you admire — your old one, a competitor's — and it picks up the palette, the type and the section order, then applies them to the redesign.
Your page addresses
Zarla keeps your old page addresses where it can and redirects the ones that change, helping you keep the Google standing you've built.
Then the move: what it means to migrate a website to Zarla
To migrate a website is to move it from one platform to another. The usual route is weeks of work: export your files, move a database, re-host on a new server, re-point DNS, set up redirects and hope nothing breaks.
With Zarla the redesign has already been built from your live pages, so the move is one step: when you're happy with the new site, point your domain at Zarla. Your old page addresses are kept where they can be and redirected where they change. No FTP, no database export, no developer. Your current site keeps running until the domain moves.
Why move to Zarla
Not another website builder. The one built to rank.
100/100 on Google's SEO audit — on a real Zarla site.
Most builders sell you a site, then sell you SEO plugins. Zarla writes the meta, schema, sitemap, alt text and image compression on every page automatically — and serves the result on fast hosting. Manaracare, a real Zarla site, scores 100 in all four Google PageSpeed Insights categories with a 0.4-second Largest Contentful Paint on desktop.
- Schema, meta tags, sitemap and social cards written for every page
- A 0.4-second Largest Contentful Paint on desktop, on a real live site — speed is a Google ranking factor
- AI SEO Coach tells you what to fix next in plain English
Change your site by describing the change.
WordPress edits mean logging into wp-admin and hoping the block still works. Wix edits mean dragging boxes around a canvas. Zarla edits are a sentence: "rewrite the about page in a warmer tone", "swap the hero photo for something lighter", "add a service page for emergency callouts". The AI does the work, every time.
- No drag-and-drop, no theme settings, no plugin updates
- Add whole pages, rewrite copy, swap photos by chat
- Edits ship instantly — no rebuild step, no staging dance
Your website, leads, SEO coach and quotes — in one place.
Most migrations are a website move plus re-buying the form tool, the CRM, the booking widget, the invoicing app and an SEO subscription. Zarla bundles them. Forms route into a built-in CRM. Bookings live on your domain. Quotes and invoices send from the same dashboard you edit the site in. One login, one bill, one place where customers turn into revenue.
- Form → CRM → invoice in the same dashboard
- Replaces the $200/mo stack most small businesses cobble together
- Your customer data stays yours — exportable any time

What to expect when you import
Zarla rebuilds the parts of your site that visitors see — words, pages, photos, contact details, design cues — in a new design with the search-engine basics written in, served as static pages from a global network.
The things Zarla doesn't carry over are the things you're moving to escape: WordPress plugins (Zarla has its own CRM, forms, SEO and analytics built in), custom PHP or theme code, third-party widgets it doesn't yet support, anything behind a login. A photo it can't download is replaced with a stock photo you can swap. Your home page is composed into the new design from your content, so it reads a little differently from the original; the other pages keep their words. You see all of this in the editor before anything goes live.
While you decide
Your old site stays live
Your old site stays live
Your current site keeps running on its current host until you choose to point your domain at Zarla. The redesign is a draft — nothing changes for your visitors until you flip the switch. If you don't love the result, close the tab: your old site is where it was, and you have not paid anything.
Real story: from $3,000 a month to $500
A small-business owner was being charged $3,000 a month by another agency for a WordPress site and SEO retainer. They were about to shut the business down; they couldn't afford it any more.
Sam, a Zarla agency partner, took the site over and imported it into Zarla in a few hours. Within a few days the client had a faster, fully managed replacement, off WordPress and off the plugin maintenance treadmill, with the local SEO tools built in. Sam dropped the monthly cost to $500.
Client kept their business. Sam kept the relationship, at a price the client could survive. That's the kind of save the import tool exists for.

- Move files via FTP (not needed)
- Reconfigure the new server (not needed — Zarla hosts the site)

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
The redesign takes a few minutes: Zarla reads your pages and rebuilds them, with a short design pass per page. Making it yours by chat takes as long as you want to give it. The move itself is one step, pointing your domain at Zarla, when you're ready; most domains switch over within minutes, a few take up to 48 hours.
Across: your words (the home page arranged into the new design, every other page with at least 80% of its words), your pages (up to 50, plus up to 100 blog posts), the photos used in the new design, your logo and brand colors, services, hours and contact details, and the search-engine basics for each page. Not across: WordPress plugins (Zarla has its own CRM, forms, analytics and SEO), custom PHP or theme code, third-party widgets it doesn't yet support, paid features specific to your old platform, and anything behind a login.
Zarla keeps your old page addresses where it can and redirects the ones that change, helping you keep the Google standing you've built. Redirects take effect when your domain moves to Zarla, and the new pages carry their own titles, descriptions, schema markup and sitemap.
No. Zarla keeps your old page addresses where it can and writes the redirects for the ones that change. For DNS, the only change is pointing your domain at Zarla when you go live — we give you the exact records, you paste them at your registrar, and SSL is automatic. Most domains propagate in minutes; a few take up to 48 hours.
Yes. Paste the URL of any WordPress site — managed or self-hosted, any theme, any host — and Zarla imports the content, pages, images, services and contact details. We don't import WordPress plugins because Zarla has its own CRM, forms, SEO and analytics built in. For a full breakdown of moving from WordPress, see our Zarla vs WordPress comparison.
That works. Zarla imports from any platform with a public URL — Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, GoDaddy, Weebly, and hand-coded HTML included. We read the rendered page the way a browser does, so closed-code platforms aren't a problem. (Most host-to-host migration services explicitly can't do this.)
You keep it. Buy nothing new, change no registrar. When you're ready to publish, Zarla gives you the DNS records to point your domain at the new site. The cutover is one DNS change — your old site stays live until that point, your new site is live the moment your DNS resolves.
Only until your domain points at Zarla. From then on, Zarla hosts the site as part of your paid plan, so you can cancel the old hosting yourself — nothing is canceled for you. Check one thing first: if your business email lives on the same hosting account, move it to an email service before you cancel, because Zarla doesn't host email.
