One long page, rebuilt as nine.

Everything was on one page.

The site we took over was one page you had to scroll through about thirty screens to reach the bottom of. Courses, curriculum, licensing, the instructors, the FAQs and the booking dates all lived on it, reached by scrolling. Because none of them had its own address, none could be linked to directly, found in search on its own, or sent to a prospective student by itself.

What the survey turned up.

We survey a site before migrating it, because the things that matter most are usually the ones you cannot see on the page. This one had an email problem. The contact form sent from a misspelled domain, and the domain's SPF record authorized no sender while its DMARC policy was set to reject. Together that meant inquiry mail had little chance of arriving. For a business that takes bookings through its website, that was the first thing to fix.

The survey also listed the smaller things worth settling during a move: an admin address pointing somewhere other than the client, a timezone set as a raw offset rather than Minneapolis, blog-style permalinks on a site with no blog, fourteen absolute links to the old staging domain, and a footer credit to update.

What we did.

We rebuilt the site on hosting the client owns, split the single page into nine, and migrated every asset. Email authentication was set up properly, so the domain now authorizes its real senders and the reject policy protects the brand instead of blocking it. The client owns the hosting, the domain and the licenses.
