Start with the delivery you received

You do not have to become a web developer. Choose the route shown in your written Project Confirmation, then follow only the relevant section below.

A
EXISTING SITE — improvement packageYour current website stays in place. You receive the proposed text, page structure and contact-step changes. You or your chosen website specialist make those changes on your website.

Go to Existing Site instructions →

B
NEW HTML SITE — complete website filesYou receive a ZIP with the new static website files. You or your chosen hosting/technical provider upload and publish them.

Go to New HTML Site instructions →

Who does what?

SvereSystems prepares and delivers the agreed work. You or your own authorised provider apply the changes, upload files, publish the site and manage your accounts. SvereSystems does not enter your website, CMS, hosting or DNS, and does not carry out publication or technical maintenance, even as a paid extra. Never send SvereSystems login details or passwords.

A. Existing Site: apply your improvement package

You are not receiving a new site to upload. Your website continues on its current platform (for example WordPress, Wix or Squarespace). Your handover describes what should change.

  1. Open the handover package. Identify the pages, text and buttons listed for revision.
  2. Find the matching page in your own website editor. Only continue if you are familiar with its editing and preview functions.
  3. Apply one agreed change at a time. Replace the relevant wording or contact-step text as supplied. Do not change unrelated settings or design elements.
  4. Preview before publishing. Check that the text and contact links remain clear on desktop and mobile.
  5. Save or publish the changes using your own platform. Check the public page once more.
Don't know how to edit your platform?

Give the handover package to a website professional you choose. Ask them to apply only the listed changes and check the result. SvereSystems does not log in to the platform or implement changes.

If the package includes an AI Presenter, follow its own included handover notes. Do not install scripts or integrations by guessing.

B. New HTML Site: publish your delivered website

For this route you receive a ZIP containing a finished static website, usually with an index.html file and an assets folder. These need to be placed on a hosting service that supports static HTML websites.

Your hosting

Public folder

Website files
index.html + assets
If a live site already exists at this address

Do not replace it casually. First arrange a restorable backup with your hosting provider. A WordPress site may require both its files and a database backup. If you are unsure, ask your provider to handle the replacement.

Before you start: three things to have ready

  1. Your final SvereSystems ZIP. Keep the untouched original as your backup copy.
  2. Your domain name. This is the website address, such as example.fi.
  3. Website hosting. You need access to an account that can publish static HTML files and offers HTTPS (the secure padlock connection).
I have a domain, but no website hosting

Ask your domain or hosting provider to recommend a plan for a simple static HTML website, connect the domain and enable HTTPS. You do not need WordPress for a static HTML package.

I have hosting, but don't know where to upload

Ask the provider which public folder belongs to your exact domain. Do not guess from a folder name.

Question to copy to your hosting provider

“I have a finished static HTML website ZIP containing index.html and an assets folder. Can you confirm which folder serves my domain, how I upload these files through your control panel, and how to make sure HTTPS is enabled?”

Upload the new site: step by step

The exact buttons depend on your hosting service. The names File Manager (browse files) and Backup are common, but your screen may look different.

  1. Download the final ZIP to your computer. Keep the original copy.
  2. Extract the ZIP. Open the extracted folder. You should see index.html and the other included folders/files.
  3. Open your hosting File Manager. Go to the correct public folder for your domain, as confirmed by your hosting provider. It might be called public_html, www or something else.
  4. Check before replacing anything. If that folder already has live website files, stop until you have a confirmed, restorable backup and know which files may be replaced.
  5. Upload the contents of the extracted website folder so that index.html is directly inside the public folder. Keep the delivered folders and file names together.
  6. Open your website address in a private/incognito browser window. Go through the checks in the next section.
CORRECT — example only 
/public_html/index.html
/public_html/assets/...
COMMON MISTAKE 
/public_html/site-folder/index.html
/public_html/site-folder/assets/...
Do not change domain or DNS settings just to upload files.

DNS controls where your domain points. Incorrect changes can affect both your website and company email. Ask your domain/hosting provider if these settings are not already working.

After publishing: check what customers actually see

Open your public website, not a file on your own computer. Check the points below.

1. Correct addressHome page opens at your domain using HTTPS, without a browser security warning.
2. Desktop and phoneRead and scroll the page on a computer and on your phone. Nothing should overlap or disappear.
3. Contact detailsClick the phone and email links. Verify their destination.
4. Buttons and linksClick the main contact button and navigation links.
5. Photos and PresenterIf included, check that images and the AI Presenter appear and work publicly.
6. Contact formIf included, submit a genuine test message and confirm it reaches your designated inbox.
If something is wrong

Do not try random server changes. Keep your original ZIP. For upload, HTTPS or hosting problems, ask your hosting provider; for site edits, ask your own chosen website specialist.

Later: making a small correction

Existing Site: use your own website platform's normal editing and preview function, if you know how. Otherwise, give the required change to your own website specialist.

New HTML Site: text or contact details are often in index.html. A static website does not necessarily have a visual editor. Only edit its files if you are comfortable with a plain-text/code editor.

  1. Keep a copy of the file before editing.
  2. Open the copy in a text editor such as Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code, not Microsoft Word.
  3. Find the exact old text or contact detail, and change only what you understand.
  4. Save the file under the same name. Upload only that changed file to the same location.
  5. Open the public page and test the edited text, link or contact detail.
Telephone numbers and email addresses may be present in two places

A number or address might appear as visible text and as a link behind it. If you cannot safely check both, ask your own website specialist to make the change.

Do not change these by guessing

These changes are not simple text edits and may disrupt a live website or email:

Domain / DNS / email settingsAsk your domain or hosting provider.
Website replacement / WordPress migrationAsk an independent website specialist and arrange a restorable backup first.
Forms, consent, tracking or scriptsAsk a qualified provider before changing how enquiries or personal data are handled.
Server, HTTPS or redirectsAsk your hosting provider rather than changing settings at random.

Who to contact if you get stuck

Your question Who can help
“Where do I upload the new site's files?” Your hosting provider — they can confirm the correct public folder and upload method.
“My domain or HTTPS is not working.” Your domain or hosting provider.
“How do I change my WordPress, Wix or Squarespace page?” Your platform's own help resources or a website specialist you appoint.
“The contact form, scripts or tracking need changing.” A qualified provider you choose, with access and approval from you.
Implementation and account access remain with you or your chosen provider.

We do not access your accounts, edit your live website or CMS, upload or publish files, manage hosting/DNS, or provide technical administration — whether included or separately paid for. You remain in control of implementation, either yourself or through a provider you appoint.

Quick checklist — keep this for your records

EXISTING SITE

  1. Read the change package.
  2. Open your own website editor, or appoint your provider.
  3. Apply only the specified changes.
  4. Check desktop, phone and contact links.

NEW HTML SITE

  1. Keep the original ZIP.
  2. Confirm hosting, HTTPS and the correct public folder.
  3. Back up any existing live site before replacing it.
  4. Upload index.html and delivered folders together.
  5. Check the public website and enquiries.

This is a general guide. Your written Project Confirmation and the instructions included with your actual delivery package control what is supplied for your project. Hosting platforms vary; do not guess when your interface differs.
