No – you will not lose any of your existing content if you already have an existing Jimdo website.
All your existing content will be automatically transferred to the new Gud Themes design – so you don’t have to worry about it (more illustrations below).
If you are starting a brand new Jimdo website, then you will not have any existing content anyway and your website content area will be blank after you install a Gud Theme template.
Gud Themes has 3 categories of template layouts for you to choose from, depending on what your website is catered for:
- eCommerce
- Business (features a footer section)
- All Purpose (features a sidebar)
Here are some illustrations of how existing content will be transferred from an existing Jimdo template to a Gud Themes template:
All Purpose Templates
Our All Purpose Template have the same layout structure as default Jimdo templates (the templates / layouts that Jimdo provides you).
After you install a Gud Themes template, the elements that were previously in the main content area of your old layout will be automatically transferred to the main content area of the new Gud Themes template.
The elements in the sidebar of your old layout will be automatically transferred to the sidebar of the new Gud Themes template.
Business Templates
Gud Themes’ Business Templates have special footer areas. This special footer area replaces the sidebars that you find in typical Jimdo templates that are provided by Jimdo. The benefit is that the Business Template allows for a much wider content area to display your contents. A sidebar can always be created using Jimdo’s Column element.
When you install a Gud Themes Business Template, the elements in the main content area in your previous Jimdo layout will be automatically transferred to the main content area of Gud Themes Business Template.
The elements in the sidebar area in your previous Jimdo layout will be automatically transferred to the footer area of the Gud Themes Business Template.
Since the width of the footer is much wider than a typical sidebar, the benefit is that you will have much more space to insert information / content.
eCommerce Templates
An eCommerce Template features a unique Shopping Cart Tab, but does not have a footer area or sidebar like Business Template or All Purpose Templates.
When you install a Gud Themes eCommerce Template, the elements in the main content area in your previous Jimdo layout will be automatically transferred to the main content area of the Gud Themes eCommerce Template.
Since the eCommerce template does not have footer or sidebar content areas, any sidebar contents that were in your previous Jimdo layout will be hidden after installation a Gud Themes eCommerce template, but not deleted.
If you switch to a layout that does support sidebar or footer content areas, you will see the sidebar content appear again.
