What Do I Actually Have to Do During a Basalt Conversion?

Three things: enter your URL, review the converted site, and approve it. Everything else is handled.

You have three jobs in a Basalt conversion. Enter your URL. Review the converted site. Approve it. That is it. Everything else happens without you.

Here is exactly what you do and do not have to do.

What you actually do

Step 1: Enter your URL.

You give us your web address. Nothing else is needed at this stage. No passwords, no credentials, no access to your hosting account.

Step 2: Wait.

The conversion runs automatically. You do not need to do anything while it runs. Go about your day. You will get a notification when the preview is ready.

Step 3: Review the converted site.

You get a preview URL. You visit your converted site and check that everything looks right. Compare it to your current site. Go through every page. Make sure your content is there and everything looks the way you expect.

This is the most important thing you do. It is also the only thing that requires your judgment. You know your site better than anyone.

Step 4: Request changes if needed.

If you see anything wrong or anything you want adjusted, you tell us. We make the changes. You review again.

Step 5: Approve it.

When you are happy with the result, you say so. That is your only required action. One approval.

After that, we handle the DNS switch. You do not touch DNS records.

What you do NOT have to do

The scrape, the conversion, the content mapping, the form rebuilding, the redirect setup, the DNS switch: all handled.

What is the hardest part?

Honestly, the hardest part is reviewing the site carefully. Not because it is difficult, but because it takes time and attention.

You know your site. You know what should be on it. You will catch things an automated check would miss, like a wrong phone number or an outdated sentence. That review is worth doing well.

The good news is there is no time pressure. Take as long as you need.
