Changing website to Mobile site

[jomin74]

Hi All,

We are building a new website and would take it live in next few weeks. I want help to understand what all should we consider..

The site structure would be same with additional features but the URL path and site name is same...Should i take any precausions before shutting down the old site and getting the new one live?

Thanks

If the domain name and URLs are the same, then you shouldn't worry. Prompt for an reindexation using Google Webmaster Tools to let Google know that the site has changed.
If URLs have changed, make 301 redirets to related pages.

I am guessing that you are using RWD and not a mobile site?

[jomin74]

Yes its a RWD. So just a changes in Google Webmaster Tools would do?

If the URLs are the same, then yes. A reindexation will do the trick.

Thanks

Until they all get indexed by Google will the visitors still be able to land into the site from the old URL's as they are same

Sounds great, there shouldn't be any problems then.

Good luck with the launch!
