We are doing real good in Google search results and have a high pagerank with our HTML webpage (several pages like 30).
Now we are switching to a Wordpress website on the same domain, and are keeping most of the HTML-pages. But we also are building another Wordpress page on a NEW Domain, here we will showcase the hardware products (we are now showing at our existing domain with HTML).
How could we safely switch one half of HTML-page to Wordpress )on same domain) and keep pagerank, and move the other HTML-page to a Wordpress page on a NEW Domain and keep the pagerank?
Thanks in advance!
Try this tutorial. It's not quite the same, but it's going to talk you through the important parts of a transfer to minimize loss of SEO.
Basically make sure you keep all the current links to your pages working after the transfer.
Import all posts, comments & pages.
Maintaining permalinks for posts & pages (1-on-1 mapping between Blogger.com and WordPress pages).
Redirecting permalinks for labels & search archives.
Retaining all feed subscribers.

I'm developing an encyclopedia-type site, of sorts. Essentially the site contains pages for words, definitions, concepts, and blog posts, and I intend to add a new page/post every week or so. I currently have about 40 HTML pages for each post. Previously I had been publishing a repository of the site to Github Pages, but recently I made the decision to host my website through Netlify. So far, I've enjoyed Netlify's features and it has improved my development process pretty well.
However, my website remains static. To be clear, I haven't created the site's files with a static site generator such as Next.js or Jekyll. I wanted the project to be a practice for hard-coding. The only files in the directory currently are HTML, CSS, and JS files (along with git attributes and things like icons and fonts) I've looked through Netlify's web applications and functions sections, however, nothing that I've found really hits the mark, whether it's because I'm a new user to Netlify, or because I don't necessarily have much experience in site indexing and/or back-end applications.
My question is, how can I implement a search bar and a title search functionality to the homepage of my static site? This would be for the process of viewers to easily find any specific post of mine once visiting. I would want the search bar to ONLY search the title of each html file (at least for now) in a designated folder I have for posts. Additional questions would be which, if any, web apps should I use to accomplish this, and should I consider changing the process of which I develop and host the site to accommodate for these?
Look at Lunr.js / ElasticLunr.js. Both allow you to create an index as a file and provide Javascript access that can be embedded in your page.
I'm currently working through that process now.
I think as you are not using database you can't have search functionality within the application. but you can google search within your website.

I'm in a deep trouble like I'm creating a gaming website in HTML.
The website is great the problem is category and pages.
Like how to manage my games categories and the page like if I create a website based on 200 (all pages on games) pages but in future if I add more 50 pages (new games).
So do I have to rename all my pages when ever I add new pages / games?
And don't ask me to convert on WordPress I have tried and it mess up my style totally because I have zero experience on WordPress and the other platforms like WordPress.
I think some content management system is what you need. If you don't like wordpress there are other options. Maybe Google Sites would work for you?
Good day, everyone!
I'm currently building 2 sites: one of them is my 'personal website' that will contain contact information, current and finished projects. (Like a presentation card, you know what I'm talking about!).
The other one it's a site regarding a tool that I'm currently developing: I want to make 3-4 section with classic things about a software: what it is, what it does, news about developments, a FAQ section and a download page.
Now, the problem is: I don't want to waste time with such 'silly' website. I want make it fast and update it easily.
I've got 2 ways in my mind:
1) Create a dynamic site (php) that will 'build' pages from a database that contains all things like finished projects, news feed and so on. I have to create the backend for content insertion, but once i've done it I can insert new content in few seconds.
2) Build a site based on static pages (classic html) filled MANUALLY with new content (like the weekly news feed); isn't much 'professional', it's much more fast to grow up but can be difficult to insert new content (Every time I want to make a news I have to write the title in an html tag, bold content with tag and so on) and move manually the old news to another page. Maybe exist external tool to help me doing that?
I always thought that static webpage aren't used even for site that 'allows' new content being updated often (once a week) but I found that isn't completely true: LOT of site that I like (medium popularity software sites) it's just a bunch of text on a static page.
I guess that isn't a smart thing waste time build a nice site for a poor developed software, isn't it?
Also, isn't kind of newbie build a site with such an old way?
What tool can I use for fast 'formatting' html news text?
Any suggestion for creating these website with fewest time spent?
When I develop websites, I use a basic template: a "toolbar" or "navbar" at the top of the page and an iframe tag that contains the content and pages browsed. You can learn how Joomla! and Wordpress platforms work and see the idea behind it: a group of files build an html file from data stored inside XML files (either in physical disk or in a database). Those files and classes build and render those pages until you get what you see in a static (sometimes dynamic with JavaScript/jQuery) page/file. Open-Source is a great thing - the human kind must use it wisely.
I will also recommend using JSON or some other database to get the needed code and append it to the body. I use XMLHttpRequest() to get code inside json, i then parse it get the html string and append it to the body of my website. It works well for me.
What would be the best way to handle this situation?
Company has two types of products, therefore two seperate webpages to serve up each:
products-professional.html
products-consumer.html
Company changes structure and now does not want to list products as seperate, new page is:
products.html
According to Google Webmaster Tools, some sites have links to our old pages. I've added a redirect on them to point them towards the new page, but the errors still show in Google Webmaster Tools. I don't want errors.
You should:
monitor GWT errors and add missing redirects
try to contact as many as possible users linking to the old url's and ask them to fix it
Since 2'nd point is hard to achieve in 100%, your redirects has to be bulletproof, and even then google can find some weird urls from a year ago and report errors.
I have a website that I was asked to "redesign".
The site itself was built and still maintained by FrontPage, so there are hundreds (hopefully not more) of HTML pages.
My main limitation is that I can't change any of the URLs because they have been there for over 10 years and have a lot of SEO value.
I want to rebuild the site in a smart way (CSS classes, dynamic pages, etc.) but also give the owner the ability to change content as he needs.
I was thinking of using WordPress, however I don't have experience with it and I'm not sure what it's limitations are.
My other issue, is that I need server side languages in order to enable this kind of site, but I don't know how to do that without changing the URLs.
And after I deal with all that, is there any way around manually handling every single page?
Any suggestions, or pushing in a certain direction are all welcome.
Feel free to provide new, meaningful, URLs but make 100% sure that you configure correct 301 redirects from all old URLs to the new ones.
You may change the permalinks from your WordPress admin section once you've written the .htaccess file. The old links of the static pages can then be redirect to new pages and links using 301 redirects which won't negatively affect the existing PageRank and SEO; see How to redirect a webpage
