Frequently Asked Questions
These are some of the questions people ask about our system.
Can I use my current hosting space for my SiteSet website?
Yes - if you prefer to stay with your current hosting space provider, we simply set your account up so that your live site is published to your existing hosting space. [top]
We already have a web address (domain name) - can we continue to use that if we have our existing site rebuilt onto the SiteSet platform?
Yes, you can use any existing web address. [top]
We have a site already and we quite like the design but we can't content manage it ourselves. Can we transfer our site onto the SiteSet system?
Sites can't be 'moved' onto SiteSet but we can reproduce most existing designs fully or nearly fully on our system. Once we have had a detailed look at the nature of your design, and aspects such as page structure, flash or video, we can tell you how closely we can match your existing site design and functionality while giving you content management capability.

We have several offices each with their own website and we are interested in your option to have shared content. Can you explain how these 'families' of sites work?
We can implement several different solutions. The first is where the websites look the same and the content falls into two sorts: pages which need to appear on all sites ('Our Services' or 'Our History' might be examples of these) and pages which are unique to each individual site. The shared pages are uploaded and updated centrally and cannot be edited locally; the 'local' pages can be edited locally or centrally. The control to edit locally can be given fully to the local team or we can include an 'administrator' level. Administrators can either be notified that new content has gone up; can be notified before new content goes up, to approve it, but allowing the local team to make content live; or we can give the administrator sole 'go live' rights.
The second is the same as the first but the sites can have completely different or varying visual identities. This would be the situation where a number of subsidiary brands with unique visual identities have websites with common 'corporate' content.
Another option is to give local website teams a choice of several approved visual designs, giving them a degree of flexibility. Content can be switched locally or centrally between these different designs. [top]
