Re: changing current 4.0 store to 5.0
Snowfox,
X-Cart 5 does indeed have the ability to create static pages. Static html catalogs are a thing of the past, but both the current version of X-Cart 4 (4.7.4) and X-Cart 5 have clean URL capabilities that will eliminate your concerns about losing your rankings.
Definitely need to be careful in this department. Your goal will be to have every old URL, resolve exactly the same in the upgraded store. This is definitely achievable using the clean URLs feature.
Talking about the process of moving, start out by building the new site in a subdirectory or on another server. Then you can test and get everything 100% working before the launch.
