Case Study 09 - Reeves Water Treatment Systems
Taking Back Control of Website and Hosting
Reeves Water Treatment Systems wanted greater control over its website, domain, and hosting arrangements. One Piece IT developed a migration approach to move its existing Wix website to WordPress, preserve its content, and give the company the tools and knowledge to manage future updates independently.
Overview
Organization
Reeves Water Treatment Systems
A water treatment business seeking direct control over its website and digital assets.
Industry
Water Treatment Services
Maintaining an online presence to communicate its services and connect with customers.
Challenge
Website Vendor Dependence
Limited flexibility across an existing Wix website and vendor-managed domain and hosting arrangements.
Solution
WordPress Migration & Ownership
Combining content migration, domain management, new hosting, and training for independent website administration.
Challenge
Moving Beyond Restrictive Website Arrangements
Reeves Water Treatment Systems had a Wix website purchased through Yellow Pages. Concerned about long-term dependence on its existing providers, the company wanted to retain its domain name and website content while gaining more flexibility over hosting and future updates.
The move required careful coordination of content, domain settings, and hosting. Because Wix did not offer a straightforward website export path, the migration also required manual content extraction and rebuilding on a new platform.
Solution
Rebuilding the Website Around Client Ownership
One Piece IT designed a phased migration strategy covering content preservation, DNS protection, domain transfer, and WordPress deployment. The project combined a responsive website redesign with account configuration, operational documentation, and training to support independent management.
Preserve Content and Domain Assets
Planned manual extraction of existing website content alongside DNS backup and domain transfer management. This approach addressed the need to retain the company’s domain name and content through the platform transition.
Build a Flexible WordPress Website
Developed a new WordPress environment with new hosting and a responsive redesign. The platform gave the business a foundation for managing its website and choosing hosting arrangements that suited its needs.
Enable Independent Management
Configured user accounts and provided operational documentation and training. These resources equipped the client to handle future updates and maintain direct access to its website administration.
Outcome
Greater Ownership and Flexibility for the Future
Reeves Water Treatment Systems gained control of its domain ownership, independent hosting options, and a new WordPress platform. The transition provided greater flexibility in how the business could manage and maintain its online presence.
Administrative documentation and knowledge transfer supported ongoing internal website management. Together, these resources gave the company more control over future updates and its relationships with technology providers.
