Most developers use a "local" host to build a webstte, using Xaamp or other program. What this does is allows you to "run" or host your website locally, that is just on your computer (not on the internet).
Everything works, downloads, plugins, formatting..as if you were a "live" website.When you are finished with the site, you use FTP (Filezilla or similar) to upload the new theme and files to your server. Of course you need to verify all the links to the site so your media and files
point correctly.The advantage of doing this is well documented.
The other thing I have done, is to simply copy all the HTML for each page of my website, and keep them in a file. Easy to modify just one page and copy to the site.
Great backup too in case you goof up some formattting.You do have a whole lot of content, links, and images on your current site. So the local host development will be the preferred option. Installing a new theme
will cause lots of unanticipated changes in layout.You can set up multiple contact forms, and direct the emails as you wish.
This is a third party plugin. The docs are pretty good on their page:
From Studio Press FAQ:
CAN I USE GENESIS FOR CLIENTS? (TO SELL SITES TO CLIENTS, FOR MY HOSTING COMPANY, FOR MULTISITE SALES, ETC.)
Absolutely.
You are welcome to use our themes to develop full websites that can be sold. We do not restrict the use of our themes to turnkey sites.
However, the buyer of the custom site you build with Genesis will not have access to our customer portal, unless they purchase directly from us.
