Add the following code to an HTML snipped in the first page of your old site:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.location.replace('URL TO YOUR NEW SITE');
</script>
This redirects the visitor immediately.
Or you can do a different redirect using this code added post publication to the entry page of your old site:
<script type="text/javascript" src="Redirect_files/Redirect.js"></script>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="10;url=URL TO YOUR NEW SITE">.
Add the above code just before the </head> tag in that page. You can edit the page in the old site so that it just has text telling them that they are being redirected and to remember to bookmark the new site. The "10; number is the number of seconds to wait before redirecton takes place. You can change it to a shorter time, long enough for the visitor to be able to read the message. You can also put a text hyperlink to the new site for those who are too impatient to wait for the redirection.
This demo page uses the latter method and has the code to use.
