Create or import a website
Choose Create site in Studio and finish business-storage setup if requested. Create new starts with your business details; an empty form offers example details.
In Import website, enter a website URL or choose import a Wave export below the button. An attached export shows its filename and new website address. Remove file returns to the URL. Invalid exports must be corrected. Both paths require permission to copy the content and images before Import website becomes available.
URL imports continue in the background and create a private draft. Return through Activity or saved imports. Inspect the result and exceptions before publishing: source forms, checkout and external integrations are not automatically migrated as working features. Creation does not publish or move your domain.
A Wave export creates a separate private draft without inbox requests, credentials or an exported domain connection.
Open Studio, then choose your website to open Website Manager. Controls depend on your access.
