Hello WP community!
I just took over marketing and web management for the company I work for. We are going to do a website overhaul – total redesign, rebuild (the back end of the site is really cluttered, confusing, and hard for me to edit. The person who created it used Avada Builder, which I have come to totally despise!)
My question is – for someone who is not an expert in WP or really very tech savvy at all, what is the easiest way to do this while the current site remains live? I would like to just be able to switch them out/activate the new one once it’s complete.
I have found a few different methods online but wanted to know what you all have found to truly be the simplest, most reliable way to do this.
Thank you!!
clone it to a staging site – make the changed – migrate back to ‘old site’ once ready.
Good choice to get away from Avada…
Don’t touch it live.
I always create a clone or using subdomain to recreate/redesign. Once its done and flawless, just transfer to the old ones.
Create a separate staging site and make changes there before merging back to the live site.
Avada is a steaming pile and I wish I didn’t have to deal with it.
