Get Started
Business and Commerce WordPress.com plans come equipped with the features and tools that help developers and agencies create streamlined workflows.
One of the most important features is Deployments, which lets you deploy code changes directly from —a widely-used platform for code development—to your production or staging site.
The following steps will guide you through creating a new WordPress.com site, setting up your local environment using Studio, pushing your plugin, theme, or full site code to , and deploying your changes.
- Step 1: Create a Site
- Step 2: Set Up Your Local Environment
- Step 3: Set up
- Step 4: Develop Locally
- Step 5: Deploy to Your Production or Staging Site
Although this development workflow is ideal for most scenarios, especially if you want version control, an alternative option is Studio Sync. This feature lets you synchronize your production or staging WordPress.com site with your local Studio site in either direction, eliminating the need for Deployments.
Studio Sync is perfect when Git version control isn’t available or required, you need to push or pull an entire WordPress site, or you’re making content and Site Editor changes locally.
