When will Sitejet implement some form of staging. As a professional website designer, one of the things that I need to do on occassion is to keep the live website intact, whilst at the same time make changes to a staged copy for client approval, then merge those changes with the live website. This is common practice. In fact, Webpros WordPress manager does this in cPanel, where you created a clone of the website, make the changes, then can copy back those changes to the live website. This is crucial as clients often don’t want to see random changes being made to their live website - especially if variations are being trialled to see if they enhance the visual appearance. ---
