When is migration required?
Your website on the retro 1.0 version of our platform will continue to function until at least June 2023, and after that we will keep the old platform working as long as is necessary/reasonable to prevent sites from going offline. So in the next year we would love to help everyone migrate to the new platform, because it's just better for you (new functionality, new designs, etc). And we are encouraging that transition sooner than later particularly because the legal ADA compliance requirements for disabled persons are urgent.
Is there a learning curve?
The new version of Gutensite is easy to use. We have a simple introductory training video and our proactive support can continue to assist you as usual. Most editing/management tasks are very simple, so after you learn the basics you'll have no problems.
Is migration free?
We will automatically create a website account on the new platform and migrate all your data/pages from 1.0 to 2.0 for free. But ...

As we develop more and more partnerships with third party designers, we are opening up our platform to give designers greater control over every aspect of a website. We are excited to announce the new Design File Editor which is now live and available to any Admin account with the "Design" access key.
The new code editor enables any professional designer with knowledge of HTML and CSS, to customize the code for any design file, for any content type, on any website. You can grant access to an in-house designer or any third party designer you trust, and you can easily edit every element of your website.

This article is part of an ongoing series about what makes Gutensite special. See the first article "Content Management Systems vs. Visual Website Builders".
Gutensite is a flexible platform that lets organizations grow. Our platform is powerful right out of the box, with built in functionality, predesigned content types, and industry specific functionality. Websites can start simple, and then as businesses grow the website design and functionality can be customized to meet changing needs.
Most of the big competitors are super simple platforms that allow minimal design customization, and no functionality customization. One size fits all functionality does not allow businesses to optimize their website for their market, their workflow, their customers, etc. There is no growth potential on these other platforms. They have limited functionality and don't organize and manage large amounts of data or content well. For $10/mo they may seem like a great idea, but they are a dead end. They ...
