So I've promised a refurbishment of a site for a country music performer. He's got his own domain etc. Simple site - 5 pages - many photos. Sites working well.

I'm going to leave that site up until the new design is ready to go.

When the new site is ready - do I simply trash all the old site files uploaded to my service provider - and do a fresh upload of the new site ?

I realize this is probably an elementary question - but I seem to recall that wiping everything from the old site from my c'panel caused a problem with the index page especially.

Thanks all,
Bill
