title: Replacing one wordpress site with another
body: <p>I am looking for a little advice if possible?</p>
  
  <p>I have created a new wordpress website for a client. It is on separate test server.</p>
  
  <p>The client currently has a wordpress site on his live domain.</p>
  
  <p>My question is how best to go about replacing the current live wordpress site with the new one? Any best practices or procedures I should follow?</p>
  
  <p>My thinking was:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Make a copy of current live site and database.</li>
  <li>Add an 'under construction' index.html page.</li>
  <li>Remove all current live wordpress site files.</li>
  <li>Add new wordpress site files along with reference to new database.</li>
  <li>Finally remove the 'under construction' index.html page.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Does this sound ok to you? Or is there a better way?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for any tips or advice!</p>
