How do you share a development site without a remote server or web host?

    Rather than creating my site using a web host on a remote server I used a service called Desktop Server and developed the site on my local PC. I now would like to share it with a developer, but don’t know how. I can’t figure out how to do a database dump that will allow me to share it with the developer. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. -Thanks!

    The DesktopServer program is built on XAMPP, so you could export the database and contents and provide that information to your developer. Most developers should be familiar with that process, however the general process is outlined here: Moving_WordPress#Moving_to_a_New_Server

    Now, I don’t know if you are using the free or commercial version of DesktopServer, but the commercial version also includes an automated “Export & Archive WordPress Websites” feature. Providing your developer also uses the commercial version of DesktopServer, that could be another way to get the information to them.
