Hiveku can read its pages by their address and rebuild them in a new Hiveku site, so you start from what you have instead of a blank page. Your old site stays as it is. This guide brings five pages of Northwind's site, [www.northwindroasters.com](http://www.northwindroasters.com), into a new Hiveku site. ## Start an import Click **Websites** in the left rail, then **New Site** at the top right (see [Create a New Website](/how-tos/websites/create-a-new-site.md)). Under **Other ways to start**, click **Import a URL**. ![Other ways to start, with the card Import a URL, Copy an existing site, outlined, and From GitHub beside it](https://mintcdn.com/locusdigital/fl_PpKowyh3DLbHV/images/how-tos/websites/imp-01-import-a-url-closeup.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=fl_PpKowyh3DLbHV\&q=85\&s=ee51d4f7b023e9f6bc31b0747c1aa8ae) Import a URL, under Other ways to start ## Tell it what to bring in **1. The address and a name** Type your site's address in **Website URL**, starting with https\://. Hiveku suggests a **Site Name** from it; change it if you like, using letters, numbers and hyphens, up to 40 characters. ![Website URL https://www.northwindroasters.com and Site Name northwind-old-site, both outlined](https://mintcdn.com/locusdigital/fl_PpKowyh3DLbHV/images/how-tos/websites/imp-02-address-and-name-closeup.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=fl_PpKowyh3DLbHV\&q=85\&s=43d310fea7702a382f126d1fdc796321) Northwind's address and a name for the new site **2. How many pages, and how** Under **How many pages**, pick **Just the home page**, **Up to 5 pages** or **Up to 10 pages**. Fewer pages is faster, and you can ask the AI to bring in more later. Under **What to bring in**, keep **Copy the site as it is** to rebuild each page with its own layout, text and pictures, or pick **Bring in the text and pictures only** to put them into a fresh Hiveku design. Then click **Import Website**. ![How many pages Up to 5 pages, outlined; What to bring in with Copy the site as it is, outlined, and Bring in the text and pictures only; and the Import Website button, outlined](https://mintcdn.com/locusdigital/fl_PpKowyh3DLbHV/images/how-tos/websites/imp-03-pages-and-what-closeup.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=fl_PpKowyh3DLbHV\&q=85\&s=cd0352f162dabd5ff44830db9a8958b5) Up to five pages, copied as they are **3. Keep the page open** Hiveku reads your site, then creates the new one. Keep the page open until your new site opens. For Northwind this took about 15 seconds. ## Let the AI rebuild the pages Your new site opens in the builder, and the AI starts rebuilding the pages from what was read. Your request is already in the chat, so you don't need to type anything. ![The new site northwind-old-site in the builder, with the chat message Bring my website northwindroasters.com into this site as it is: rebuild its 5 pages with the same text and pictures, outlined](https://mintcdn.com/locusdigital/fl_PpKowyh3DLbHV/images/how-tos/websites/imp-05-the-request-closeup.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=fl_PpKowyh3DLbHV\&q=85\&s=69881bfc3eb3d8edba9e6181b384085c) The request, already sent for you Leave it to work. You can follow each step in the chat. Northwind's five pages took about 40 minutes, because the AI rebuilds every section and its pictures one by one. When it finishes, the AI lists the pages it rebuilt and says what it could not do. Things that repeat, such as Northwind's coffees, stories and cafés, go into your site's CMS, so you can edit them later without touching the pages. ![The AI's summary listing the rebuilt pages /, /blog, /locations, /shop and /about, outlined, and the notes on links and buttons it could not bring over](https://mintcdn.com/locusdigital/fl_PpKowyh3DLbHV/images/how-tos/websites/imp-06-the-pages-closeup.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=fl_PpKowyh3DLbHV\&q=85\&s=20f5b9889ddbf3e791429b148bd08cd2) The five pages it rebuilt ## Check each page Pick a page in the list at the top of the preview to see it. Compare it with your old site, and ask the AI in the chat to fix anything that looks different. ![The preview showing /locations, outlined: Find us, Three Spots in Portland, with the roastery picture from the old site](https://mintcdn.com/locusdigital/fl_PpKowyh3DLbHV/images/how-tos/websites/imp-07-a-copied-page-closeup.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=fl_PpKowyh3DLbHV\&q=85\&s=ea4b7f1cdc1a0435babf2542407d0d1a) The Locations page, with the old site's text and pictures Nothing goes live until you publish: see [Publish Your Changes](/how-tos/site-builder/publish.md). If you don't need the copy, delete it: see [Rename or Delete a Site](/how-tos/websites/rename-or-delete-a-site.md). ## Good to know * **Your old site is not changed.** Hiveku only reads it. * **Links to pages you didn't bring in** still point to your old site, and shop buttons stay switched off until you set up checkout in Hiveku. The AI says which ones in its summary. * **It copies what it reads.** A typo on your old site comes across too, so read each page before you publish. * **The rebuild uses your AI credits.** Bringing in fewer pages uses fewer. * **More:** [Edit Your Content in the CMS](/how-tos/site-builder/edit-cms-content.md).
