WordPress Local Development Setup gives you or your developer a working copy of your site on a computer, for a fixed price of A$199. Developing directly on a live site risks breaking it for customers. I set up a local environment with LocalWP or DDEV, pull a copy of your live site with sensitive data protected, and document how to sync changes.
