Best practices to replace old website with new

Permalink
First, I'm not a developer, just a guy building a website for his wife's consulting business. I have a site now, but I want to change it, using a different C5 theme. What's the best practice I should follow to develop the site without taking it live and then how do I replace the existing site? I have a sub domain available on my server.

Thank you.

You could install a new C5 site on your subdomain and use the same database but it'd be best to export the tables and put them into a new DB so you don't affect the live site.
You would need to have access to phpMyAdmin...

Then you could copy over all the files to the live domain when you're done.
