  We have a URL http://www.naturemeetings.com and currently use another CMS.
  We do not want to alter our host

  We haveourold website in wordpress and want to put it back up in wordpress, but first we want todevelop ‘offline’

  Do we need a paid plan whilst we develop the wordpress site?

  Best

  Are you planning to deploy the site back to your hosting environment after developing it?

  If so, we don’t recommend doing that here, as you’ll only be able to export the site’s content and media.

  If you plan on keeping the site here, you can develop it under its free WordPress.com subdomain, and then map your domain to it when you’re done: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
