 * Hello all,
 * I am realtively new to WordPress and this is my first time posting here, so please
   bear with me.
 * I am interested in designing a wordpress website offline, while the current standard
   html website is running (it’s for a restaurant, so they need to keep thier website
   running while we design the wordpress site).
 * My question is: is there a way to create the wordpress website offline while 
   the existing site is running? Thanks in advance!
 * Regards,
 * KJ

 * Yes you can install a Wamp on windows or a Mamp on Mac server on your computer
   and install wordpress and work as if you are working online.

 * Kenneth,
 * Is this a commercial paid job? If it is, you need to setup a live server so the
   client can see the progress as well.

 * [@govpatel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/govpatel/): Thanks, I’ll look
   into this.
    [@shirazdrum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shirazdrum/): it’s
   not paid, it’s for a friend. I have some slight experience with WP on my own 
   blog site, but I’ve never built a WP site to overwrite an existing html site.

 * As govpatel mentioned, for local testing and development WAMP is your best friend.
   I’m assuming you have a website of your own, and if you do, setup the WordPress
   network and then you’ll be able to show off your work live as well without needing
   a domain.
