Hi! 

The company I work for wants to completely redesign their website (woohoo because it's terrrrrrible).  I'm a graphic designer with a small background in web design, mainly with Dreamweaver.  I have never worked with DNN before however.  Here's what I really need advice on:

I want to redesign their website, but not make it live as I go along... wait until the entire site is designed and then "unveil" it.   I can't take the whole website offline to recreate it.  The only way I have figured out how to work on DNN is to make changes that are automatically live... which is normally fine, but for this it isn't!

Should I just create new pages?  That seems like trouble waiting to happen and doesn't seem the right way... but I don't know what else to do!

HELP!  Thanks all!!!

You could create the site local on your computer, adding the content, making a corerate skin (design) and then backup database and restore it to the hosted sql server and transfering all the files to the root folder of the hosting and making the changed to the web.config file of it to connect to the database on the new sql server.

So it is easy to cange to DotNetNuke, without making the production site offline.
