 * Hi everyone:
 * We have a running website which is old but needs to be up until the new Website
   designed via wordpress and the template LawBusiness by cmsmasters. The new Website
   also Needs to be featured in three languages, either sub-directories or sub-Domains(
   I have no idea what is best). Therefore, need to install multisite on wordpress.
 * Q1: Can I install and start working on the new Website (WP and template) with
   a fictive domain-Name while the old site is still running, and when I am read
   with the new Content upload that?
 * Perhaps there is someone out there who can help me with the wordpress-set-up.
   I would greatly appreciate it.
 * The theme LawBusiness has not yet been downloaded/purchased as there are still
   questions about what Needs to be done in which order.
 * Thanks a lot în advance for your support and reply.
    Best, Michelle

 * Yes you can start with any fictive domain. Later when you will be ready with 
   the WordPress content, you can move it to your website domain.
 * You may use the steps given in the below link to set up your WordPress:
