Create Staging Environment for WordPress (Divi Theme) Site on DigitalOcean
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Description:
We have a live production WordPress website (Divi theme) hosted on DigitalOcean, and we need a staging environment set up. The goal is to have a proper development workflow where updates and changes can be built and tested on staging before being pushed to production.
Requirements:
- Set up a staging environment (preferably on the same DigitalOcean droplet or a separate one if recommended).
- Ensure database and file sync between staging and production (push/pull as needed).
- Configure a safe deployment process to push changes from staging → production seamlessly.
- Maintain SSL, domain/subdomain, and other configurations correctly.
- Provide a brief handover document or walkthrough on managing future deployments.
Tech stack:
- WordPress (Divi Theme)
- DigitalOcean hosting
- (Optional) Cloudflare for DNS
Ideal Candidate:
- Strong experience with WordPress migrations and staging setups.
- Familiar with DigitalOcean droplets and server configuration.
- Comfortable working with Git-based or plugin-based deployment workflows (like WP Staging, Duplicator Pro, or similar).
Deliverable:
A fully functional staging environment (e.g., staging.ourdomain.com) with the ability to safely test and push updates to production.
Additional Request:
Please share examples of your previous WordPress staging or migration work along with your proposal.
