Yeah, then sounds like it would be a relatively simple move to shift it to one of these:
1) a site hosted by ghost themselves

My normal approach is a quick zoom call to help understand what people have already, and what they're trying to achieve. Then offer some (free) advice on what to think about and possible next steps.
