  Hello, we want to build a new website on WordPress, however, we cannot move our page location until we are ready to launch the new site. We will take a month or two. Can we build the site and launch later?

  Hi,

  You can build your new site here and then wait to connect the domain until everything is ready to go.

  You can get a free site and the free features with a
  .wordpress.com subdomain. Use a temporary name for your site as an example: sitename.wordpress.com

  https://wordpress.com/free/

  Keep the new site private as to not affect any SEO.

  Once you are ready you can choose to transfer or map your domain to WordPress.com

  This guide will help you learn how to use WordPress.com

  Webinars are a great tool for getting started. Check those out at https://wordpress.com/webinars/

  If you would like to buy a plan and decide not to use it here is the WordPress.com refund policy.
