Import your website from Ghost

## What we bring over from your website

Your website is rebuilt as real files that you own: change them by chatting, download them whenever you like and publish them in one click.

- **Pages and addresses**: Every page is rebuilt at the same address, so old links and Google results keep working.
- **Texts, word for word**: Headings, paragraphs, lists and buttons stay exactly as you wrote them, in their original language.
- **Images and videos**: Every image is stored on your website, not on the old platform, so nothing is lost when you close it.
- **Colors, fonts and logo**: We take the exact palette, fonts and logo, so the new website looks like yours and not like a template.
- **CMS collections**: Blog posts, projects, services and team members become pages of their own, each at its own address.
- **Forms**: Contact forms work right away: every message is saved and emailed to you.
- **SEO**: Titles, descriptions, share images and the sitemap are kept, so you do not lose your place in search.
- **Animations and effects**: Menus, sliders, tabs and animations are rebuilt to behave like the original.

## Questions about importing

### Can I export my website from Ghost?

Ghost exports your content as a JSON file, and its themes only run on Ghost. The import rebuilds every page and post from your public address as real files, which you can download as a zip at any time.

### What happens to my posts and tags?

Every post becomes a page of its own at the same address, with the same design, and the home and tag pages link to them. You can also manage posts as a list in the Database, just ask the AI.

### What happens to my members and newsletter?

Your members and subscriber list stay in Ghost, which lets you export them as a CSV file. On the new website, signup forms save every new subscriber and email you each signup.

### What about paid memberships?

The pricing and join pages are rebuilt with the same plans and texts, and join buttons lead to the checkout or payment link you choose. Payments and member accounts stay in Ghost, and posts for members only come over as far as their public preview.

### Does it work with my domain?

Yes. When you connect your domain to Website, the pages open at the same addresses as on Ghost, so old links and Google results keep working.

### Can I import a ghost.io address?

Yes. You can paste your Ghost address, such as name.ghost.io, or your own domain. The website has to be public and not password protected.
