Q. How long will it take to move our division's website into APA's content management system and onto APA’s servers?
A. Production time depends on the size of your division’s website. A division that signs up in the second quarter of the year will most likely be migrated by the third quarter of the year. These timelines depend on APA staff schedules and the division contact's availability and responsiveness.

Q. Can we keep our unique domain name, or do we have to use the “APADivisions.org” domain name?
A. You can keep your custom domain name by continuing to pay any annual fees and redirect it to your new APADivisions.org URL. You have to contact your domain registrar to have the URL repointed to the new APADivisions.org site; the APA digital communications team will give you the information you need to do that. You may choose, custom domain name or not, to keep a hosting contract with your old web service company to redirect your site. The redirect may be deleted after major search engines have found your new website.
Q. What happens after our new website launches?
After your APADivisions.org site has launched, the division is responsible for creating a redirect to the new site. Since your old site was housed in a server outside of APA, the division is also responsible for making a backup copy of its content and taking it down timely.
Q. My division has a custom programmed database or application for membership processing, paper submissions, CE exams, etc. Will APA support this custom application?
A. No, APA does not offer custom database or application services. You would need to maintain these systems outside of APA and we would link out to it from your APA website.
