Hello, I am trying to figure out how to redirect a client's old webpage to a new one I just developed for the client. I did not develop the first website. Does anyone have any idea how I can redirect people who visit the old site to the new one I just created for her? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, ~Zach

31 PointsDo you have access to the Old website ? If so, simply put in a script tag at the top of the HTML index of the old site to change the location to your new website:
<script> window.location.href = 'http://<yournewdomain>'; </script>
This is not recommended for searchengines and you should probably get the registrar of the domain to point it to your new site / server

31 PointsAsk your customer to get the domain pointed, surely the domain will belong to his company / business.

6,682 PointsUnfortunately I do not have access to the old website. The last Web designer has been rather uncooperative, and actually designed the website in photoshop.
