Creating a development site

I have an existing website on another platform, and I want to create a new one for it using Weebly. Eventually I'll switch the existing domain name over to the new site, but in the meantime I want to start to design it and see how it works, without it being visible on the internet.

Is my best plan to create a free website with the Weebly domain name, design it and start to upload the old content to the new design, and keep unpublishing it after I've worked on it?

Then I can upgrade to a paid-for site and attach my existing domain when I'm happy with the new one. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Celia

You can also publish but preselect pages to "Hide from search engines" if you wish...
