If you build a WordPress site locally then you can push it up onto the web just fine! This is actually the way that a lot of companies, including the one I work for, do it. It is much easier to work locally and then push it up to a live site later because then you aren't relying on having a fast internet connection all of the time and etc...
I hope that I helped clear that up for you!
