I am working with a client who has a site on GoDaddy built with DreamWeaver. She wants to convert to WordPress. Do I have to take her old site down and start over? Is there a way to convert without doing all that?
I did talk with GoDaddy and they said I could build the new site in a sub-directory but not quite sure of the steps.
Any help would be appreciated.

you will need to 'start over'.
however, you could develop the 'new' site in a sub-directory, as suggested, without disrupting the old site;
and once finished, move the wordpress installation to the main directory http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
