Building a new wordpress site for an old HTML site

Hello !
I have a quick question, someone has an old html site and would like me to build them a new wordpress site. I can build it from scratch, its only small so don’t need to migrate it, BUT should I build on my hosting? Theirs? I know I can hide it whilst building but is it easy to switch over to the new site once finished? Many thanks!! : )The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello,
I think you are confused with the WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress.org versions.
Here is a link that can help understand the difference between the two:Now to answer your question, I think if you are building it on your own, you have multiple options, You can use a local install of WordPress.org:

and then move it to a server:
