Send visitors to the new Site Creator page

In the left side menu of Site Creator:

1. Click on Adjustments.
2. Click on SEO & Meta Tags in the part Site configuration.
3. Enter the address of the old page (without the name of your site) under Redirect.
4. Enter the address of the new page (or / to redirect the visitor to the root of your site, i.e. the home page):
   
5. Save with the blue button at the bottom of the page.

For example:

• Your previous website contained a contact page at domainxyz.com/company/contact.html.
• Now your contact page is on domainxyz.com/about.
• So you have to come in. company/contact.html in the left field
• and about in the right field so that visitors still arriving on the old address (because of a not-up-to-date search engine or a click on a favourite e.g.) are automatically transferred to the new page.

A method alternative consists of: add a new page Site Creator on behalf of your old page address, then specify a redirect to the URL of your choice, and make it invisible thanks to the toggle switch below the redirect field:
