Import External Websites into Site.com

With Site.com Studio, you can import your existing website and recreate it automatically as a Site.com site, which prevents you from having to recode existing HTML pages.

Create a zipped file of your website and the content with the desired folder structure. Create a Site.com site and then import your zipped file.

During the creation of the new Site.com site, all your HTML pages and assets are copied into the new site in the same locations they are in the zipped file. Here are some guidelines for importing assets.

  • Some code in style sheets doesn’t convert properly to the Site.com format. If the code doesn’t convert properly, you receive a warning message. You can continue to import the zipped file or stop the import. If you continue, the style sheet imports and you can then manually attach it to your pages.
  • You can manually edit the HTML of the <head> section of a page using Edit Head Markup in the scripts section on the properties pane.
  • The maximum file size you can import is 50 MB unless you import and unzip a .zip file. In that case, you can import a .zip file of up to 200 MB if you select Unzip files during the import process. If your site is larger than 200 MB when zipped, you can create more than one zipped file and import them individually.
  • Site.com attempts to format links correctly when importing a page. Links are checked in content blocks, custom code, and head script markup. You can check for any links that are broken on your page by using the link checker. Open the page, select Action Menu | Find Broken Links. A dialog displays showing any broken links. To fix the link, click Edit. The link opens in the HTML editor.
