All of which is going to cost so much as to make it prohibitive and you wonder why I'm still where I am doing donuts and tripping over the bar. It would involve shutting the whole thing down for an extended period of time. I'd be eating more peanut butters n jellies by weeks end. square one here we come
You can build the entire website on a sub-domain before changing it all over to your main page. No shutting down, no loss of current sales. Then, when the website is complete, you make a couple small changes with regards to how the domain is setup in the Content Management System and the software does the rest of the work.

I bet it takes you at least an hour if not a couple hours to add new plugs to your website right now... you know how long an online CMS would take? Minutes.

According to a couple sources online, Saltys.co only has 13 pages of content. You could transfer that to a new CMS in a day or two. I also just noticed that there is a restaurant in Seattle that is Saltys.com. I guarantee you're losing some customers by them typing .com instead of .co.

Are you doing any tracking of your web traffic? That can tell you a lot. For instance, if tracking shows that a lot of people are loading items into their cart and then they start to checkout but you then they quit, some of those lost sales could be saved through testing and making adjustments but you won't know how without tracking.

Like I said before, I could go on for days about this stuff. If you're curious about looking more into it, let me know and I'll dig up some info for you to take a look at.
