Shope Creek Wilderness

A website move, on a Saturday night

Dark at 6:17. Live again the same night.

His website went dark on a Saturday evening, a week before his open house, with a printed QR code pointing at it. By about 9:00 it was live again on his own domain, page for page.

The night

A backup first. Then a way back.

The flyers were already printed. When the old hosting stopped serving the domain, the rebuild made that afternoon became the way back.

  1. Fri 6:14 AM

    A full private backup of every public page, at computer and phone size.

  2. Sat 11 AM

    Kickoff at the property: move the site to Shopify inside his Care plan.

  3. About 4:20 PM

    The site rebuilt on Shopify from the Friday backup, page by page.

  4. 6:17 PM

    The old hosting stopped serving the domain.

  5. About 9:00 PM

    Live on his own domain, the flyer’s QR page working again.

About 2 h 45 m dark. His email never went down.

What Start Right built

From a Friday backup to a working site, in four parts.

  1. The backupFriday, 6:14 AMEvery public address captured at computer and phone size, every image and sound file saved with a checksum, and an offline copy of the whole site.
  2. The generatorSaturday afternoonEach page became a Shopify section carrying the site’s own fonts and styles. Same input, same output, every run.
  3. The proofSaturday eveningBoth sites captured by the same tool at the same sizes, compared line by line. Ten gaps found and fixed to match the original.
  4. The switchAbout 9:00 PMLive on his own domain with his email left alone, then checked logged out: the QR page, the home page and the old links.

The proof

The original on the left, the move on the right.

✓30 of 31 pages matched on computer and phone, the same page height to the pixel. The 31st carries changes he asked for.

The next day

Five edits by text. All five live a day early.

  • Every word matched to his own sources, checked by script.
  • The four sections he kept, byte for byte the same as that morning’s copy.
  • A new photo gallery, built by Start Right, its images down from 1.93 MB to 0.93 MB.
  • A donation box that grows when a donor starts, beside a column that stays in view.
  1. Sun 2:45 PM

    He texts his first edits himself.

  2. Sun 5:49 PM

    All five live on his own domain.

  3. Mon 5:00 PM

    When they were due.

Since then

His edits, live the same day.

October 29Visits, offerings and a form

Book a Visit became Request a Visit, offerings opened into drop-downs, a Classes & Community section, and the feedback form in their own words. Live the same day.

“Well, great work, I love the homepage, it is beautiful. … Thanks again, really good work.”

“Will, fantastic, you are amazing. Thank you so much.”
