Description

Using a staging site is typical for more high-level WordPress users, but not as common for beginners. However, learning how to use one from the beginning of your journey with WordPress can mean a smoother process overall, and is a big step on the path from a beginner to an intermediate WordPress user. In this course, Allie Nimmons covers why, how, and when to use a staging site. Allie focuses on two main topics: use of staging sites when building/preparing to launch a site, and staging sites during the lifetime of the website. She explains why you should build in a staging site, how to create a staging environment using a few different methods, and the benefits of utilizing a staging environment as you update and maintain your website. Join Allie in this course to get a better understanding of the benefits of staging sites and the confidence to create your own.
