 * Hi all,
 * Total noob here. Please stop cringing. 🙂
 * So, I have this client, and she’s asked to “fine tune” (aka fiddle with, adjust,
   mess up :)) the site that I built on WP BEFORE it goes live. I developed the 
   site on MAMP, and of course she’s on PC. I did a test migration from MAMP to 
   WAMP with the only 7 box in my house, and despite the fact that a clean install
   of WP works just great, once I import the SQL file from the site, the CSS just
   kinda… disappears.
 * Before I even ask about solving that, I thought I’d ask some people who know 
   what they’re doing – what is the best way to give her access to the site before
   it goes public? WAMP? A subdomain? Other options I haven’t considered? It’s an
   ecommerce site, and I have yet to sandbox Paypal Pro because it won’t work on
   MAMP. So should I just take the site online and hide it from the world until 
   it’s ready? And how hard is it to move once it’s done?
 * Thanks so much for your input, guys!
 * -Liam
