Demo areas for client

By demo areas do you mean like a development version of the clients site? If so maybe look into https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Create_A_Network and have a separate site/users for your clients to access.

This plugin might help as well

Thanks Adam.

I did mean the development version of the client’s site.

I never thought about using Multisite. Duh!

The plugin seems like a better fit for me at this point of time as I can migrate the website once it has been developed.

No problem! I use multisite and love it. It allows me to test new features/plugins/themes very easily. Glad that the plugin will do the trick for you.

All the best in your web dev!

Another question Adam if you have had experience in this.

Can I do a multisite install and then use the password protect plugin to protect each of the development version of the client site? That should work – logically – i,e if my brain is working logically at 1 AM in the morning on a Friday!

Thanks anyway!

That makes sense to me. Each site would have the plugin running separately so you could have as many as you wanted.
