Advice: Development Site

  • I’m developing a WP website to replace a standard html website.

    What’s the best way to develop the WP website so, when done, I can easily replace the old site with the new WP site? Can I safely develop it in a directory on my client’s server and take it live when done?

    From what I’ve read here, it’s tricky/problematic.

  • the problem with this is that wordpress depends of Database too much for modifications so maybe even if you use a plug in like Composer to design your site some of the changes will not appear until you import your local database to your on-line server son the best way in my experience is to develop on-line is risky but saves a lot of time and is easier.

    Others must do this “offline.” How do you plan for developing in one place and moving the site/database to another? What’s the best approach?
