On my first blog on Beginners Guide in Building a Website, I’ve mentioned that you should install your wordpress first in your computer using WAMP. The reason for this is that building your website OFFLINE is faster coz’ it doesn’t require internet connection and you could easily modify your php & css file in case you’ll get an error.
What is WAMP by the way? WAMP allows you to create web applications with Apache, PHP and the MySQL database. It means that if you use WAMP in your computer, you won’t need a hosting yet just to build your website.
Basically, what we are trying to do here is build and design our website offline. Once everything is complete, then we’re going to upload it to your host and publish it online.
Don’t worry WampServer is an open source project, so it is free to use. Wink
