Hello,
My website is considered "production." However, can somebody advise on how I can access a "test" environment to continue enhancing the site without touching the "production" site?
Thank you.
http://www.ymphony.comUse Xampp to create a local host on your computer, which is what developers use. It allows you to operate everything as if it were a "live" site, but it's strictly on your computer. When you have crafted your website to your liking, then you can FTP it to your host provider. There are a ton of instructions, videos, etc. out there to show you how to properly set it up.
Or you could use someting which is fairly easy: Instant Word Press. http://www.instantwp.com/
This is extremely easy. It was developed by a school teacher who needed a way for a full classroom of students to build and work on website development, and it was impractical to have that many kids on the "live" web server. You can run your website from a flash drive, and take it with you.
