If you are looking for a way to test and experiment with Avada or any other themes or plugins, you might want to consider using InstaWP. This environment creates timed, temporary instances that allow you to test and forget. If you want, you can build out an entire site and deploy it from their environment or you can create a template that you would use for future customers. There are several paid levels, but the personal level of InstaWP is available on Appsumo — this is not a lifetime offer, but according to the information available, this locks in the price for subsequent years.
