WEC Assisted Upgrade to TV-Framework ... Step 2

As a Web-Empowered Church hosting client, you are able to request a site upgrade to the new TV-Framework templating system and the WEC Support Team will do the technical work for you. However, before you make this request, you should be aware that the upgrade does not come without creating some extra work for you.

First, you will need to prepare your existing site for the upgrade. WEC Assisted Upgrade to TV-Framework ... Step 1  tutorial will guide you through that process.
