Each option worked OK, but I still found that I would be messing around with settings, or spending $$$.Īdditionally to this I also had to find some not-so-cheap plugins that could sync a Staging website with a Production website, but found the plugins processes to be clunky and sometimes painful. They included WAMP, XAMPP, and DesktopServer by ServerPress.

I found a couple of options to replicate the above process that didn’t need a Software Engineering Degree to understand or use.
Production: The staging website can be “Pushed” to the Production website when ready to be accessible to the internet and search engines. This staging website can be viewed by the client and any online testing of the website can occur. Staging: The locally developed WordPress website is uploaded or “Pushed” to an online Website that is a different URL to your main production website. I learnt the following about the methodology of deployment for a WordPress Developer:ĭevelopment: Using a local installation of WordPress on your computer, a new website is designed, built and tested offline. I even travelled over 1,000 kms to my nearest capital city to attend a WordCamp event to network and learn from the pro’s. I started looking around at Website Development workflows, in particular, how Website Agencies built websites. While the above methods helped me learn quite a lot of new skills with Linux and the ins and outs of WordPress installations, I found I wasn’t spending much time actually building websites.
I made changes online on the fly and would regularly break things, and without any nice backup or maintenance strategies I would become very frustrated with the whole process.įor hosting I started with one click installations of WordPress via cPanel through cheap shared hosting, then I moved onto custom Linux servers hosted on Digital Ocean. When I first started building websites with WordPress I tried various methods to simplify the process.
