  I would like to build the website first, and then transfer the domain. How can I do that?

  Hi there,

  That is not an issue – what you could do is create a site with a free WordPress.com blog address. You are assigned a .wordpress.com or a .home.blog subdomain whenever you create a site with WordPress.com, so you can just use that as the domain as you build the site and determine whether or not this is the platform you want to use. Once you are done developing the site, you can make the decision to transfer the domain over:

  map and existing domain:

  Or even creating a new one:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/register-domain/

  Hope this helps,
