FAQ
Questions, answered plainly
Much faster. Same design, URLs, and domain. Say the change. Approve it. It's live. Here's everything else people ask before switching.
Switching to SayPages
Will my site look the same?
Yes. We rebuild it to match your current site page for page: same design, same words, same photos, and the same addresses. We check every page against the original, and you approve it before anything switches over.
Will I lose my Google rankings?
Nobody can honestly promise rankings, and we won't. What we do is keep everything search engines already know about your site: the same page addresses, titles, and descriptions, with redirects for any link that changes. Then we fix the technical problems our scan finds, and your pages load much faster.
Do I keep my domain name?
Yes. Your address stays yours. We connect it for you and look after the security certificate. You keep the domain registered wherever it is today.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You change your site by typing what you want, like you'd ask a colleague, or by clicking any text and retyping it. You never see code, files, or anything technical.
Will new pages look AI-made?
No. While we move your site, we write down its design: colours, fonts, spacing, and how each kind of section looks. Every new section and page follows it, so additions look like the rest of your site.
How does paying for AI edits work?
You only pay for the changes you make. Your account starts with 200 credits for AI edits, and you top up when you want more. You see an estimate before any big change, and every account has a monthly usage limit so a bill can't run away. Clicking and retyping text (Instant Edits) is free and unlimited.
Will ChatGPT and other AI assistants find my business?
No one can promise what an AI assistant says, and we won't. What we make sure of is what it reads: your site lets in the bots ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity search with, and your hours, services, and other details are in plain text on the page, not hidden in widgets. When something changes, say so and your site is right within minutes, so assistants don't repeat old details.
What if I break something?
Every change goes into a draft first, with a live preview you check. Nothing goes live until you press Publish, and every version is saved, so you can undo any change or go back to any earlier version.
What if I want to leave?
Your site is a standard Astro project, a common open-source format. Download it any time and host it anywhere, or hand it to a developer. No lock-in.
What do you promise about speed?
90+ mobile PageSpeed and every technical SEO check passing on your migrated site, or we fix it free. We measure it with Google PageSpeed on your migrated site before you go live.
Changing your site
What kinds of changes can I ask for?
Anything you'd ask a web designer for: new opening hours, a staff bio, swapping photos, a banner for a holiday, rewording a page, a new page for a service, or a landing page for a campaign. Very large requests, like redesigning the whole site, go to our team for a quote instead.
How quickly do changes show up?
Usually within seconds in your draft preview. When you're happy, press Publish and it's live on your site a moment later.
What are Instant Edits?
Click any text on your site's preview and retype it, or drag in a new photo. It's the quickest way to fix a typo or change a price, it doesn't use AI, and it's free and unlimited.
Pricing and billing
What does it cost?
A one-time migration fee, which depends on your site, then a monthly plan for hosting and the editor. AI edits use credits you top up, so you only pay for the changes you make. You'll know the migration fee before you pay anything.
Do I pay for changes in months I don't make any?
No. A retainer or care plan bills you every month, whether anything changes or not. On SayPages your plan covers hosting and the editor, and AI edits use credits you top up only when you want changes. A quiet month costs just your plan.
How much do AI edits cost?
AI edits use credits, and a bigger change uses more of them. You buy credits in the editor, from $25 for 1,000. Every new account starts with 200 credits, once; they don't renew each month, so you top up when you want more. Before anything big, like writing a new page, you see an estimate first.
Can a bill run away from me?
No. Every account has a monthly usage limit on AI edits, with alerts at 50%, 80%, and 100%. At the limit, AI edits pause until your next billing period, while Instant Edits, previews, and publishing keep working. If you need more, use Request more usage in the editor and we'll review it.
Is it cheaper than what I pay now?
It depends. If you pay for WordPress hosting, plugins, and a maintenance plan or agency retainer, usually yes, by a lot. If you're on a basic Squarespace or Wix plan, probably not: you'd be paying for a much faster site that's far easier to change, and for us to run it.
Technical details
What is my site built with after the move?
A standard Astro project: plain HTML, a little CSS, and your content in simple text files. It's a popular open-source format any web developer can work with.
Where is my site hosted?
On Cloudflare's global network, as pre-built pages served from locations close to your visitors. There's no server or database to break or to be hacked, and security certificates renew automatically.
What happens to my blog, forms, and redirects?
Blog posts come across as posts you can keep adding to, and any page address that changes gets a redirect so old links still work. Booking links and embedded widgets from other providers come across with your site. Contact forms are rebuilt as part of your migration; tell us what yours do and we'll confirm the details before you pay for the move.
Do I have to move my domain?
No. Your domain stays with whoever you registered it with. You change one DNS record to point it at us, and we walk you through it. Leaving later is the same one change in reverse.
