Downloading a site that already exists to local computer
-
I’m working on a website for a client. I’ve done some web development before, but only from my own local computer, which was then uploaded to a domain.
My problem is, I have no idea how to download a client’s website, which already exists, and then work on that website from my computer.
At first, I logged into WordPress through their host login, and worked on the website from there. But seeing as developing with plugins like Elementor have many paywalls (like if you wanted to use custom CSS) I decided to develop from my computer to allow for more freedom and to actually give the client things they want.
I want to be able to either:
1. download what I already have on there onto my computer that I created with Elementor so far, so that that work does not go to waste, work on that on my computer, and then upload it to their domain.
2. develop it from scratch all over again if that first option isn’t possible from my computer, and then upload that to their domain.I’ve been trying to figure this out for like an hour but I’m a beginner at WordPress and just don’t understand what to do.
