A project is where you can manage a live or staged instance of a WordPress website. InMotion Central makes it easy to manage and develop multiple sites in separate projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can build a site and do not have to pay for hosting until your clients are ready to go live. Save time and money by testing and building separate instances in staging environments without disturbing your live sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the other benefits of creating a project with InMotion Central are the ability to perform free backups of your projects using the Total Upkeep plugin and create \u201cSnaps\u201d that include a group of pre-built plugins that you can quickly implement on any project site. You can also save time by moving a copy of existing sites to InMotion\u2019s Managed WordPress platform in minutes and deploying updates right from InMotion Central without having to log in to the WordPress Dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"create\">Create a New WordPress Site Project\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list article_list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/central.inmotionhosting.com\/wordpress\/\">Login to InMotion Central<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the<strong> +New Project <\/strong>button.<br><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"260\" class=\"wp-image-95283\" style=\"width: 750px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-a-new-project-inmotion-central-button.png\" alt=\"Creating a New Project With InMotion Central\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-a-new-project-inmotion-central-button.png 919w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-a-new-project-inmotion-central-button-300x104.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-a-new-project-inmotion-central-button-768x267.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter a <strong>Project Name<\/strong> then click the <strong>Next<\/strong> button.<br><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" class=\"wp-image-95288\" style=\"width: 750px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-a-new-project-inmotion-central-name.png\" alt=\"Naming a New Project in InMotion Central\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-a-new-project-inmotion-central-name.png 851w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-a-new-project-inmotion-central-name-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-a-new-project-inmotion-central-name-768x461.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>New WordPress<\/strong> then click <strong>Next<\/strong>.<br><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"567\" class=\"wp-image-95289\" style=\"width: 750px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-a-new-project-inmotion-central-new-wordpress.png\" alt=\"Creating a New Project With InMotion Central\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-a-new-project-inmotion-central-new-wordpress.png 858w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-a-new-project-inmotion-central-new-wordpress-300x227.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/create-a-new-project-inmotion-central-new-wordpress-768x581.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the next screen you can choose your starting point. Here you can decide if you want a plain WordPress site or what is known as a <em>Snap<\/em>. A Snap is a bundle of WordPress plugins that can be installed for a specific purpose. You can choose a pre-made one or create a new one from scratch. These are the available options:<br>\u2022<strong> I\u2019ll decide later<\/strong> \u2013 Choose this option if you want a plain WordPress installation, great for building a website from scratch.<br>\u2022 <strong>Professional Design System<\/strong> \u2013 This Snap includes a page builder with an advanced theme along with other tools for creating forms, managing site cache, or even building an eCommerce store.<br>\u2022 <strong>Easy Website Builder<\/strong> \u2013 This Snap will install website builder plugins designed to help you create a professional website quickly.<br>\u2022 <strong>Personalized Selection (WordPress Snaps)<\/strong> \u2013 If you are planning to create multiple websites, you can choose this option and build your own Snap. You can then re-use the Snap with other WordPress setups in the future.
