I want to rebuild my site on WordPress. Can I do this without shutting down my current site, which is built on Rapidweaver.

Sure. Build WordPress in a subfolder and move it when you’re done 🙂

I’m not clear on how to do this. Do you mean create a sub-domain first and then redirect it? I have built on WP before but never rebuilt an existing site on it.

No. I mean install WordPress to yourdomain.com/foldername

Build the site THERE without messing with your existing site.

Then either move it or let it run out of the subfolder while acting as in root.
