Landing page issues

I am designing a website myself. I was wondering how can I create a landing page for my site and still work on my website to see what it looks like if it were on the web. Right now, I have a landing page up. However, I want to work on the site without potential visitors knowing what I am doing. Thanks.

  • There are two ways to do this: offline and/or online.

    It sounds like you are attempting to do it online. In that case, as long as you don't link to your page or publish the URL, it will be mostly hidden from anyone who does not have the URL.

    The other way to do it is to create a copy of your site and work offline, then transfer your work online when you are done.

    I'm using MAMP on a MacBook Air laptop to maintain offline copies of my websites in this manner. This allows me to work as if the site were on a live webserver, without exposing the work in progress until I'm done.

    On my Windows PC, I'm using XAMPPLITE

    • You can already work on HTML/CSS/Javascript files offline, without needing to install any special software. But if you want to render PHP files offline, then, as Scott hinted at, you would need to install server software on your computer (if you use a PC, then you'll need to use something like XAMPP or WAMP).

  • As mentioned above, MAMP (for Mac) or WAMP (for Windows) should do the job and let you edit locally.
  • I suggest you to do all work off line , when done just upload it.
