Website Migration Service for The 1st Hong Kong International Composition Competition for Chromatic Harmonica 2021
Website Migration Service for The 1st Hong Kong International Composition Competition for Chromatic Harmonica 2021
Background
The 1st Hong Kong International Composition Competition for Chromatic Harmonica 2021 (ICCCH) is a multi-faceted musical event presented by the Hong Kong Harmonica Association.
After the completion of the ICCCH, the steering committee of the ICCCH wanted to minimize the future website maintenance cost.
On the other hand, the steering committee would like to keep a copy of the website for future reference.
Our Founder Ivan Chong proposed a free-hosting solution via rebuilding the website using Google Sites.
The idea was adopted by the steering committee of the ICCCH.
Needs from Client
Since the original website was built leveraging two annually paid subscription services, respectively Squarespace and Weglot, in order to save the long-term annual renewal cost of these services (around HKD3,000 per year), the steering committee of the ICCCH agreed Ivan's proposal rebuilding the original website using Google Sites.
Solutions and Services Offered
- Created a backup site based on the website architecture of the original website
- Preserved the support of 3 languages (English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese)
- Configured DNS and forwarding to point the link to the new website upon completion of website rebuilding
Website
Summary
Our Founder Ivan Chong helped rebuild the static website of The 1st Hong Kong International Composition Competition for Chromatic Harmonica 2021 on Google Sites. After a round of review by the steering committee members of the ICCCH, the new website had been approved.
Ivan then configured the DNS and URL forwarding to point the original site link to the new website.
The new website supports 3 languages, following the website architecture of the original site.
The annual subscriptions of Squarespace and Weglot have been stopped.
From now on, the backup site can run at zero annually fee using Google Sites.
