  I currently have my website setup in YOLA. Is it possible to design the website in WordPress the way I want it and THEN change the domain over versus transferring it at setup? Also I have email addresses attached to my domain, will that switch over? Then how will I check emails, etc?

  Hi there,

  Is it possible to design the website in WordPress the way I want it and THEN change the domain over versus transferring it at setup?

  Yes. You can start building your site here using a free .wordpress.com address and when you’re ready you can transfer your domain and launch your new site.

  I have email addresses attached to my domain, will that switch over?

  We don’t offer email hosting, but we have partnered with Google and you can purchase a G Suite account. More information can be found here:

  If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.
