 * Thanks for the response! It is slowly starting to make sense.
 * The website that I am redesigning has already been on WordPress, and it already
   has a theme.
 * I think the header and footer are great, so the only changes I will make to those
   sections will be a hamburger menu on mobile for the header. There are also a 
   number of pages that do not need to be redesigned.
 * However, what is changing is the design of the body of a few pages. I am thinking
   a child theme will be the best option for this, as the design is moving from 
   columns to rows and things will move around a good bit, but I would like for 
   the person taking over the site later to be able to revert it back if necessary.
 * The issues I am running into now are:
 * 1) I have successfully found where to edit, change, and add content. However,
   the redesign requires that I change the order of content on a page. For example,
   old site has a ul at the bottom of the page, underneath an image. With the redesign,
   the ul will be split into two ul’s, with half going above the image. Is it possible
   to change the order of content on each page only in the child theme? I would 
   want the original theme to look exactly the same as it has been. (Also, I would
   want to be able to change it back in case changing the order of content hurts
   SEO)
 * 2) The id’s and class’s are going to completely change. Should I just add in 
   the new id’s and classes and leave the old ones for the parent theme, or should
   I just change the ids and classes for the new child theme? Also, will there be
   a separate style.css file for the child theme, or do I add it to the style.css
   currently being used?
 * 3) Finally, is there a way to do all of this in wordpress while keeping the current
   site live? Particularly, if I have to change the content for each page?
