Importance of a testing site
- You never want to put your code out on an active website if it hasn’t been tested first.
- Most importantly – Can break any or all aspects of what is already out
- May not show up
- Content may not be ready to go live, but you still want to see what it’s going to look like or stage it for release
- A couple different ways
- Use a subdomain as your testing site ideal for hand-coded websites as well as wordpress sites (hand-coded sites is easier to transfer via ftp vs redoing the work for wordpress sites)
- Schaffencreative.com would have a subdomain of testing.schaffencreative.com
- Do everything on the testing site while using a “coming soon” page or plugin on the real domain
- Use GitHub to manage hand-coded work (useful links below)
- Use a WordPress Plugin
- I’ve never explored this option
- Use your local machine (computer) to create and test your site
- Should be for more experienced developers only
- Labor intensive to set up and get running
- Resources;
- Use a subdomain as your testing site ideal for hand-coded websites as well as wordpress sites (hand-coded sites is easier to transfer via ftp vs redoing the work for wordpress sites)
