Questions

How much is it?

Nothing. Cleitext is free software, under the GPL.

How do I update?

From the admin, in one click, under Updates, or automatically. A backup comes first and the new version is tried: it goes live only if it works.

What if an update goes wrong?

Your site does not break. If the new version does not start, the old one stays; a plugin or theme that does not start goes back to its previous version by itself, and a plugin with an error stops without stopping the rest of the site.

How do you know a new version works?

At every change, more than a thousand automatic tests check the server, the admin and the site in Chrome, Firefox and Safari, together with the security of dependencies and the speed limits. A version ships only when every test passes; then, on your site, it is tried once more before it goes live.

Can I move a WordPress site?

Yes: export the WXR file from WordPress and import it.

Do I need to code?

No. Pages, menus and themes are managed from the admin.
