[Book a SafeSwitch assessment →](https://trychad.ai/book/)[How it works ↓](#process) [Watch the video](https://trychad.ai/videos/safeswitch-explainer.mp4)Read the transcript 1. Your website works. It brings in bookings and enquiries. But every change still means a brief, a developer and a wait. 2. Chad changes that. He finds what to fix, builds it, and ships it when you say yes. 3. To do that, Chad needs a website he can change safely. That's where SafeSwitch comes in. 4. We copy your whole website onto Chad's managed setup. Same design, same pages, same URLs. No redesign. 5. Your current site stays live while we prepare. We check the copy against it: pages, SEO, forms, bookings and tracking. 6. You click through everything on a private link. Nothing switches until you approve it. 7. Then we switch, with the recovery plan agreed in advance, and keep watching after launch. 8. From then on, improving your site is a Slack message. Chad sends a preview, you say yes, and it's live. 9. Your domain stays yours. Your team can still edit. And if you leave, you take everything with you. 10. Rocket Room, ARROS QD, DACPros and more already run on Chad. 11. Same website. Smarter infrastructure.

Changing it is the slow part. Most businesses spot what to fix faster than they can ship it. Chad can only do the work if he can change your site safely, and SafeSwitch is how he gets there without you starting again. Today Opportunity*→*Brief*→*Developer*→*Build*→*Sign-off*→*Live Five handoffs, and the opportunity waits at each one. On Chad Ask in Slack*→*Preview*→*You approve*→*Live Chad finds it, builds it and sends a preview. It goes live on your yes. Why Chad, if you already have a CMS? ## You have a CMS. Two things are missing. 01 · Knowing what to do - What should we post? - Where should our hours go? - Which opportunities are worth chasing? A CMS can't tell you. It only stores what you decide to publish. **Chad finds and ranks the opportunities** from real data, so your hours go where they pay. 02 · Getting it done - Write the brief. - Make every edit by hand. - Wait for sign-off and publishing. Each step waits for someone's time, so good ideas take weeks. **Chad prepares the change**, sends a preview, and ships it when you approve. Chad closes both gaps: he tells you what matters, then does the work. Rocket Room's Leicester Square launch went from first request to live in about 40 minutes. [Chad vs your CMS →](https://trychad.ai/alternatives/cms/)[Chad vs WordPress →](https://trychad.ai/alternatives/wordpress/) The SafeSwitch process ## Your website stays live while we prepare. 01 ### Assess We review your site, its integrations and anything that can't move as-is, and agree the scope. 02 ### Copy We copy your whole site onto Chad's managed setup, privately. Your live site isn't touched. 03 ### Compare We check the copy against your live site: pages, layouts, URLs, SEO, forms and tracking. 04 ### Approve You click through it on a private link. Nothing switches without your sign-off. 05 ### Switch A planned cutover, with a recovery plan agreed in advance. 06 ### Monitor We watch indexing, forms, tracking and errors after launch, and fix what needs fixing. Built around your peace of mind ## Nothing switches until it's ready. Before the switch, you get a readiness check covering everything your site depends on. You see the evidence, then you decide. Once you're on Chad, the same rule applies to every change: it comes to Slack as a preview link, goes live when you say yes, and can be rolled back.

SafeSwitch is not a redesign: we reproduce your existing pages, layouts, content, images and fonts, and compare the copy against your live site before anything switches. We keep your URLs, page titles, descriptions and structured data, set and test redirects for anything that has to move, and compare the technical SEO of both sites before the switch. After launch we monitor indexing and errors. Rankings can move after any migration, so we watch closely and fix issues quickly rather than promise they won't. Before we start, we list every form, booking widget and integration your site relies on, and test each one on the new site before the switch. Anything that can't move as-is is flagged at the assessment, before you commit. Yes. Your existing site keeps running while the new one is prepared and checked on a private link. Nothing switches until you approve it. Every SafeSwitch has a documented recovery plan for your setup, agreed before the switch, and we monitor the site after launch. Once you're on Chad, any individual change can also be rolled back. Yes. Your domain stays yours, your team can still edit copy and images directly, and if you leave, you take everything with you. Yes, a one-off onboarding fee that covers the move, on top of Chad's fixed monthly price. We quote it after the assessment, before you commit to anything. SafeSwitch normally moves the whole site, so Chad can work on all of it. If you'd rather start with a few pages on your existing domain, ask us on the assessment: whether that works depends on how your current site is set up. 30 minutes · with a human · no commitment ## Your website. A smarter way forward. We look at your current site, tell you what moves easily and what needs care, and agree the scope and safeguards before anything starts.
