Data Transfer Guide

Exporting from 10Web requires multiple approaches since it's a WordPress-based platform. Use WordPress's built-in export tool (Tools > Export) to get an XML file with posts, pages, and media references. However, Pineapple Builder doesn't accept WordPress XML imports, so you'll need to manually transfer content. Download all images and documents from 10Web's media library to your computer. For text content, copy directly from your live site or from the XML file using a text editor. Pineapple Builder accepts standard image formats (JPG, PNG, GIF) and documents (PDF, DOC). Organize files by page before uploading to Pineapple Builder's media manager. For structured data like products or bookings, you may need to recreate them manually in Pineapple Builder's corresponding modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from 10Web to Pineapple Builder?+
Yes, but not automatically. You'll need to manually export content from 10Web and recreate it in Pineapple Builder. Text and images transfer easily, but some functionality may need to be reconfigured using Pineapple Builder's available modules.
How long does migration take?+
For a typical small business website, expect 2-3 days of active work. Simple sites with few pages can be done in a day, while complex sites with blogs, e-commerce, or custom features may take 3-5 days including testing.
Will I lose any features switching to Pineapple Builder?+
You may lose some advanced WordPress capabilities and team collaboration tools. Pineapple Builder focuses on core small business needs rather than comprehensive enterprise features. Review the feature mapping section to understand specific differences.
Can I use both tools during migration?+
Yes, and this is recommended. Keep your 10Web site live while building your Pineapple Builder site. Only switch your domain after complete testing. Maintain both subscriptions during the transition period to avoid downtime.
Is Pineapple Builder cheaper than 10Web?+
Generally yes—Pineapple Builder targets small businesses with more affordable pricing. However, compare specific plans as features differ. Pineapple Builder's simplicity often means lower costs, but verify current pricing as both offer freemium models.
