"What happens if I don't want to upgrade just yet?"

The now legacy versions of Sitebuilder Standard and Sitebuilder Ecommerce arn't going away just yet but time is running out, they will be shut down eventually.

Jon Web Design will end support and updates for the now legacy versions on January 1st 2023. Sitebuilder Standard and Basic will not allow edits past Monday 1st July 2024 and Sitebuilder Ecommerce will only allow product sales and editing no theme updates.

Older Legacy Versions of Sitebuilder Such as Sitebuilder Basic are no longer supported at all and were discontinued in at the beginning of 2020, however they still qualify for this upgrade and migration discount!

If your on a version is phased out to the legacy status or is currently not supported, It is highly recommended to let me upgrade you to the new version so you can avoid being stuck without updates or editing as there is nothing that can be done to stop the shut down of the older version.
