Moving over

How a move from Unbounce works

There is no import tool. This is what a switch involves, step by step.

  1. There is no import tool, and Unbounce's .unbounce files are not something Cliux reads. Both editors place elements freely, so the layout carries over by eye; open the Unbounce page beside a new Cliux site and rebuild it on the canvas.

  2. Publish on your free Cliux address, share the password-protected preview with whoever signs off, and keep the old page live until you are happy.

  3. Point your own domain at Cliux: two DNS records, and the certificate is issued for you; the Cliux address keeps working beside it.
