Rebuild current website without affecting the live website
Hello,
I currently have the power plan and have one website up and running using WordPress. However I want to revamp this website a fair bit. For example, I want to change the theme, layout, pages etc. completely, and do this without affecting my website which is live now as it will take a while to redesign. And then when ready, switch the newly designed website to my current domain which is live now. What is the best and easiest way to do this? I do not want to have to register a new domain for this, and of course I do not want to affect the live website during the building of the new site.
Also, in my current WordPress login area, I have all my plugins etc. that I do not want to lose and reinstall all over again. Is there a way to do this or do I have to start from scratch again? Would I have to install another WordPress with new login credentials? Ideally I would like to keep everything as it is now, just be able to redesign the site until ready to switch
Thanks
Dave
