Working on a new WP site to overwrite existing WP… how?

    I’ve been asked to design a completely new WordPress site for a client, with all new content, pages, theme, etc. They have an existing WP site that needs to remain online until the new one is launched to overwrite it.

    Having never done this before (I’ve been lucky to only have to do clean installs so far), what’s the best way to do this? I can work locally using MAMP, but how would I allow the client to preview the site before it launches? And is there a way to overwrite the wp database with the new content when I launch the site, removing all the old pages and content?
