Dear Criya users,

We are thrilled to introduce you to the next evolution of our platform: Criya 2.0. This upgrade marks a significant leap forward in our commitment to offering you the best tools for building and managing your personal brand online.

As part of this transition, we want to ensure a seamless migration for all our existing users. This guide outlines the steps you need to follow to upgrade from Criya 1.0 to Criya 2.0 and take advantage of our new features.

For those curious about what the 2.0 platform bring, here's a quick overview:

The steps highlighted in yellow indicate actions you should take now.

Step 1: Claim Your Free Website on Criya 2.0

The first step in your migration process is to visit the new Criya 2.0 platform and claim your free website. This initial offer includes a fully customizable homepage at no cost. This limited release is our way of saying thank you for being a part of our journey.

What to Expect: The free tier allows you to create a one-page website that showcases your personal brand and professional details.

Upcoming Tiers: More Features on the Horizon

Professional Tier: We're excited to announce that soon we will introduce a second tier, enabling you to add your own domain name, create multiple pages, and incorporate a blog into your website.

(As a paying Criya user, you will automatically have access to this tier, soon as it is released)
Entrepreneur Tier: Following the Professional tier, we will launch a comprehensive third tier that includes capabilities for hosting all your products and services, transforming your website into a complete personal branding and monetization platform.

Step 2: Update Your Website

Once you've claimed your free website, it's time to personalize it. Update your site with your personal brand, professional details, and any other information you want to share with the world.

Step 3: Link to Your Criya 1.0 Product Pages (Temporary Phase)

To leverage your new site as an attractive base, you can add links to your various product and service pages from Criya 1.0. This interim solution will ensure you can continue to showcase your offerings while we prepare the full suite of Criya 2.0 features.

This is only a temporary measure, until the Entrepreneur Tier is released.

Step 4: Releasing the Professional Tier

As we roll out the Professional tier toward the end of March, you'll be notified so you can enhance your site further by adding a custom domain, creating multiple pages, additional templates. This upgrade will elevate your site from a landing page to a more comprehensive personal website.

Step 5: Releasing the Entrepreneur Tier

+ Automatic Migration of your Products

By the end of April, we plan to release the full capabilities of Criya 2.0, including various products and monetization options. We will automatically migrate your existing products and services to your new website. To ensure a smooth transition, we'll arrange a short call (about 10 minutes) to confirm your preferences for the website's appearance post-migration. The entire process will be completed within 7-10 business days.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. Do I need to create a new log in for the new website? If I already have a website, don't I just need to update the new features in the site once Criya 2.0 goes live?

The 2.0 platform is going live on March 15 for our Waitlist and 1.0 users. It is SEPARATE from the 1.0 platform (this was done intentionally as it is a completely different infrastructure - and we didn't want to disturb the ongoing businesses on 1.0)

So, yes, you will be asked to create a new login on 2.0.

To make it easier - during the Launch event, Deb will be doing a LIVE BUILD SESSION where everyone will go through the generation and site creation process together.

She will also be answering questions right there.

Hence, you do not need to do anything right now. At the event, the new platform will be made available and you will have the chance to create your website right there.

2. Will I need a login for both sites to migrate although you mention " I don't need to do anything".

So, yes - the 1.0 and 2.0 platforms will co-exist for a couple of months until we fully re-build all the 1.0 features into 2.0. So yes, for the temporary period, if you choose to use the new website - you will have 2 separate logins.

Once the full 2.0 platform (the final tier) has been released, and all the 1.0 features have been migrated, we will sunset 1.0 and you'll just need to login to the 2.0 platform.

We understand this might cause temporary inconvenience, we're trying our best to make this smooth -while not affecting your existing business with any disruptions/bugs :)

3. How can I accept the request to log into for the launch event? A new login and password?

The launch event is being hosted in our new community platform. We have moved away from Slack as it wasnt conducive for collaborations, and are now in on "Circle".

You will need to simply click the SIGN UP button at the top right to sign up into the Criya Circle Community - and you can RSVP there, meet other members and also get a glimpse at all the upcoming events planned!

Hope this was helpful :)

Please don't hesitate to reach out with any further questions.
