We are migrating our Namiko Kennel’s website to wordpress.org technology, because we want to add more rich media including pictures and videos. We want to achieve a reduction of the lead times for updates and content addition, with non too tech savvy people in mind!!!
The use of galleries and albums, as well and the media folder are simpler to manage for a moderate size html 5 website.
Currently we are experimenting with 301 redirections and testing results in order to maintain an acceptable SEO ranking for local searches. Because the wordpress code is a different folder, we use .htaccess technology.
For the moment we target a specific page and after building the new page in wordpress with more rich content, we add to the .htaccess file a 301 redirection for that page.
We hope it helps!
