Setting up a website is only step 1 of the process to build your online presence. Even after your site is designed and launched, there will be times when you want to make changes, install updates, or try out some new branding. Freelancers are a critical part of this system, but it can become frustrating to get in touch with your designer just because the marketing team wants the font to be blue instead of orange.
There’s an easy way for even a novice to make changes properly without affecting the live site until they’re confident: staging sites.
What is a Staging Site?
A staging site is a copy of your website that you can change around without affecting your live site. Intsead of making adjustments live, or trying to figure them out on a blank website, you can work under the conditions you’ll experience on your main website.
It goes something like this…
You create a staging site for your WordPress site.
You login with your same username and password as your live site. No need for a blank install or a secret key (unless you want one).
You make changes to the staging site. You can change plugins, edit CSS, add new pages, whatever your heart desires.
