Local is an application that allows you to emulate WordPress sites with access to all the free themes and plug-ins. I have built this website and one other using the application. There is no need to buy space on a hosting platform and waste time building it from scratch. Local is a good way to get your site to a starting point and then deploy it.

When you are ready use all-in-one WP migration plug-in to export the files to your hosting provider of choice.
