would like to create a clone of my current SM site

Hi, I plan to do a b-to-b site on SM in addition to my current retail site. It will be a new pro account. Ideally, I would like to create a clone of my current SM site (which is for retail customers) and re-customize it instead of starting from scratch.

Could someone explain the best way to do this?

I understand that one way is to copy all the CSS codes and select the same customization schemes. But that's a bit of work. Can SM "clone" my current site to my new account?

Thanks!

    If I understand you correctly you do not have the pro account yet but you will be getting it. From my understanding once you buy the pro account you will not need to do anything to your additional site as everything will stay the same as far as your html and css. You will only have more control over you account.

    Does that answer your question?

    Thanks for your comment. I already have a Pro site that is fully up and running. It's for selling retail. I would like to set up a new site (additional SM Pro account of course), same look and feel, for B-to-B. I would like to clone the existing site into the new site. It's the "cloning to the new site" that I am asking about - can SM's tech support help out and do that for me after I open a new SM Pro account (then, all I need to do is to re-customize a few things in the new site), or do I have to do it on my end? Thanks.

    Do you mean that I should
    1. Register a new Pro account with SM and pay for it
    2. Contact Help desk by email and ask them to make the new account's site exactly like my existing Pro site
    3. After (2) is done, I can go into the new site and do my own additional the customization

    If that's all I need to do, that's great - I wasn't sure that SM Help will/can set up the new site exactly based on my current site for me as my starting point ...

    No, I mean you should ask them if what you're asking is possible before you start. They might say yes, they might say no - but why not ask them?
