# Can Ted run my business if I already have a website?

> Yes. Bring in your website’s address, and Ted works for it: his posts, emails and outreach send people there, and he never changes it.

It can be a website made anywhere, like on Wix, Squarespace, Shopify or Lovable, that people open in a browser. Ted reads it to learn your business, and you don’t need a new website.

## Bring in your website

Ted can do this for you: send him your website’s address and ask him to bring it in.

Or the owner or an admin presses **Import** at the top of the **Build** board. They enter the address and press **Bring it in**, and its card says Your external site. See [Your own website](https://docs.foundable.com/build/manage-websites.md#your-own-website).

## What Ted does for it

* **In Run.** His posts, emails and outreach are about your website and send people to it. While your business has its own website, Run builds no new one.
* **In the chat.** He reads your website whenever the work needs it.
* **With websites in Build too.** Make yours the [primary site](https://docs.foundable.com/help/glossary.md#primary-site), the one Run works on.

## What stays with your website

Build can’t change a website made elsewhere, so you keep editing it where you made it. [Payments](https://docs.foundable.com/payments/overview.md) adds checkout only to websites made in Foundable. The Visitors card on [Home](https://docs.foundable.com/get-started/visitors-and-sales.md) counts only a website you publish from Foundable.

To move it to Foundable later, ask Ted to rebuild it. He copies its words and look into a new website in Build, and your old one stays online. To keep your web address, called a [domain](https://docs.foundable.com/help/glossary.md#domain), [connect it](https://docs.foundable.com/domains/connect-your-domain.md) to the new website. Using your own domain needs an active plan.
