This guide helps redirect visitors arriving on non-existent pages (e.g., old pages from a previous website) in case your site is currently managed with Site Creator Infomaniak.

Redirect visitors to the new Site Creator page

In the left sidebar of Site Creator:

  1. Click on Settings.
  2. Click on SEO & Meta Tags in the Site Configuration section.
  3. Enter the address of the old page (without your site name) under Redirection.
  4. Enter the address of the new page (or / to redirect the visitor to the root of your site, i.e., the homepage):
  5. Save with the blue button at the bottom of the page.

  • Your contact page is now located at domainxyz.com/about.

An alternative method involves adding a new page Site Creator with the name of your old page address, then specifying a redirection to the URL of your choice, and making it invisible using the toggle switch located below the redirection field:
