It is recommended you only build the most current/relevant content to your new platform.

This initial migration assistance should not be regarded as a long-term commitment on the end of Marcomm for website updating / maintenance.

You may see new content appear in your sandbox as the "migration" process develops. We thank you for your patience as we continually visit each sandbox site and develop more content from your old Word Press* site to it. The process will be slow and piecemeal, depending on how many people are working on your site. When migrating from an old website, a ll content is in fact re-built ( content from other platforms cannot simply be "transferred"). We are available for training, technical help, and site review/consultation. Unfortunately our tiny web team is unable to recreate a past website from a previous platform in its entirety. We prepare for you a "starting point" website, referred to as a sandbox, where you learn the new environment at the same time you build your new content. Yes, our web team has already re-created many websites into Cascade.
