Staging System
What is a staging system?
A staging system is a separate environment that mirrors the live system and is used to test changes, releases, content structures, plugin updates, or template modifications are first deployed to staging. The standard workflow is Development → Staging → Production. At Waterproof Web Wizard, we set up every client project with at least Staging and Production environments; for larger setups, we also include a Development environment. Changes without staging testing are strictly prohibited in production B2B systems, the risk of failure is simply too high.
