    Hi

    I have a question.

    I am new to WordPress and I am just beginning to develop my site. I am confused as to which approach to take though, do I:

    a) Work ‘offline’ with www.ads-software.com and then when the site is ready, move it to a host? (is there any challenges or development limitations if I do it this way when I move try and move it to the site)?

    b) Get hosting first and utilise their WordPress installation facility etc and build the site whilst ‘online’ so to speak.

    Any pro’s and con’s of either way would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Mike

  • Hi Mike,

    It’s more about your preference.

    Working locally will be faster and it will be much easier for you to edit code since you can edit them in your preferred editors.
    Also you can work offline and don’t have to rely on your internet connection.

    However, you might face some issues in transferring the site from local to live environment. Also, you might come across small bugs on the live environment compared to XAMP/MAMP.

    Bottom line – If you are going to edit a lot of code, you might want to start locally. If you are completely new, transferring will be a pain hence go for a live environment. Hope that helps!
