Walter Builds a Separate Copy
When Walter recreates your site, he builds a brand new, independent version inside Marblism's own infrastructure. Your original site (whether it lives on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, or anywhere else) stays exactly where it is, completely untouched.
Think of it like building a second house next to your first one. The original is still standing. Walter is just constructing something new alongside it.
Your original site | Your Walter site |
Stays exactly where it is | Built as a separate project inside Marblism |
Not touched by Walter | Managed entirely through Walter's chat |
Hosted on your original provider | Hosted on Marblism's infrastructure |
Recoverable while its hosting is active | Not connected or synced to the original |
💡 There is no risk of losing or breaking your original site while working with Walter. Any changes made through Walter only affect the new version he builds.
What Happens if You Connect Your Domain to Walter
Your domain can only point to one place at a time. If you decide to connect your custom domain to your Walter site, visitors will start seeing the Walter version instead of the original. Your original site does not disappear; it still exists at your original hosting provider. The domain just points to Walter's version instead.
⚠️ Once your domain points to Walter, your original site won't be visible at that address. It's still there and fully intact, but you'd need to update your DNS records to point back to your original host if you ever want to switch back.
Can I Go Back to My Original Site?
Yes, as long as your original hosting is still active. Walter never changes your original site. To switch back, point your domain's two records (www and the root domain) back to your original host at your domain provider. Removing the domain in Walter doesn't do this for you.
