How do I go about testing my site without it going live?
Discussion is locked
To see what the W3C html checker complains about. I like to see that with zero errors.

You asked "How do I go about testing my site without it going live?"
I answered how I test and now its time to go live.
If your questions change from your first post I can't guess they did.
Bob
Many people like me who's career path is not web design and are trying to design a site will usually use the word "test". I need to see how it looks, images, links, videos etc.
Would have looked at it with a few browsers. Maybe I needed to add that.
But it is technical and if you are programming, making web sites we have to be sure to dot the i's and dash the t's. If not we see trouble.
Hope this is all you needed.
Bob
Sorry, you can't test it before it's running on some webserver. Either at your chosen hosting company, or at your own PC. Some versions of Windows come with IIS, but you can also install Apache.
But as long as you tell nobody the URL, testing in the final production environment probably is the most easy.
So what exactly is it you don't know?

All I need to test the website I'm maintaining myself is a browser. But that's because it doesn't need any server side processing. It's just plain html and pics. The browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox) picks it up from my hard disk just as it does from the webserver. Really no difference at all.
Can't you?

. I also can't click an image that I set up to be a link(I can in IE
