  Hi Niamh!

  If you’re going for a complete makeover then you could consider creating a test site that’s a duplicate of your real one. We have some extra guidance on how to go about setting up a test site for the purposes of experimenting with your blog’s design here in our post here:

  Experimenting with a test site would mean you can switch between themes and try new features out without worrying about breaking things for your viewers. Once you’ve finished experimenting and have the perfect look for your website, you can copy the changes over to your real site. :)
