Hi, my website is up and running but I am thinking of changing from Icon Stack to the Spa Demo.
Can I do this on a temporary site without affecting my existing live site until complete and then switch?

With thanks
Claire

Hello Claire,

Thanks for writing in! Since your site is already live, I would recommend that you create a staging site. This is very useful because you can test drive any X updates in the staging area, do the customizations and troubleshooting without disrupting your live site. Once everything is perfect, you can easily and flawlessly proceed the update in the live site. To know how to create a staging area, please check out these articles:

Hope this helps.
