Two different sites with the same content. A terrible idea?

Question

My boss wants to change our dynamic website to static in order to make it more interactive between users.

However, I strongly believe that a major overhaul can lead to turbulence in the ranking, and we really cannot afford it. The reason is that we changed the structure of our website a couple of months ago. In particular, we eliminated many pages and collected content on one page. i.e. posting images, study guides, etc. product pages on related products.

Then, following the recommendations of experts, we redirected the entire remote URL through 301 to the corresponding product page. Unfortunately, we experienced a downgrade of our page within one month on Google. This is why I am so worried about our work in search engines.

I decided a wild decision. But I'm not sure that this is doable! So please give your idea!

I want to maintain two sites at the same time for one period, one dynamic and one static. One of them will be presented in the www section. <> <> <>. Com, while the other is http: // <> <> <> .com. and the latter should be static.

If all goes well, maybe in one or two months, I can pull out a static site: http: // <> <> <> .com down.

I'm dreaming?

Thank you for your time for the long reading and suggestion.

This is the wrong place to ask a question, but it is a terrible idea.

Saving the old site at the same URL will confuse users and only delay the problem, but not solve it. The demo phase (YouTube, GMail, Google Ads, etc. Did it with their interfaces), where users are given the opportunity to switch to the new interface (cookie!), Radical transitions can be facilitated, but in the end you just want to make a clear cut.

If you are afraid of the bad consequences for your page rank, make sure that the new site is better and redirects all indexed old links to the corresponding new sites, where possible (at least for the transition period).
