  Hello, I’m developing a website but before linking it to my hosting or domain, I would like to design it first. I already have the template I wish to use as well, which I bought from a third party (envato)

  Isn’t it possible to upload my theme and design the website first through WordPress’ free account, then if approved by client I can proceed to upload the site in its respective host/domain?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You cannot upload a custom theme if you’re on the Free Plan; you need to upgrade to the Business Plan, https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  Hi there,

  To be able to upload a third-party theme you’ll need to upgrade to the Business plan as it’s the only plan that allows theme uploading. You can read more about it here:
