How to create Wordpress site without going live/without domain?
Do I need to install it locally and working in staging environment and then once I want to go live, install the domain?
Am I understanding this correctly?
Thank you

Here is a tutorial on how to install it locally: P.S Mamp is used on both windows and Mac, so can follow this with no issues :)

9,260 PointsPreferably I would use xampp but I have used mamp too, but feel that xampp is faster to open than mamp, maybe she to my pc :) either is fine btw :)
