How to Build Your Own Website Offline

Learn how to build an offline website.

Building an offline website is essentially the same as building an online website, with the one exception that the site is not made available on the Internet.



One reason to make an offline website might be to place it on a shared server in a home or workplace, so that anyone with a computer on the network can view the website but others cannot (this is typically called an "Intranet" website).



Another reason to build and maintain a website offline is for the convenience of the creator, possibly from going from offline to online.
