We have had our ezimerchant web site up for 6 years and it is long over due for an upgrade, even though we are averaging 550 + page hits and 120+ visitors a day to a specialised site. http://www.engineering-tools.com.au
We started out with about 100 pages and 200 products, but it now has over 1000 pages and well over 4000 products and the site has become messy and outdated.
I want to re-build it using CSS, creating a more attractive site with uniform sized graphics, better navigation etc, etc, etc. I can see that this is going to take several months to complete considering the time slots I have.
The re-design is not a problem in itself. Naturally, it won't be uploaded until I am satisfied that it is finished. But I am a little concerned about whether I am going to run into difficulties viewing the work in progress and causing a conflict with the current site registration. I don't want to make it impossible to keep the current site updated during the re-building period. Changes are made almost daily.
One minute I think it will be okay and a little later I think about it again and have doubts.
I know I have to create and name new Templates - not a problem. But will I be safe by creating new image files and naming them say: images-new?
