Hi,
Is there anyway to develop my site on my local machine while using EE? What’s the normal workflow for developing html sites?
Thanks.

Yes, set up wamp on windows or use the built in webserver on mac.
What OS are you using?

There are a variety of ways to approach it. From folks who don’t have a development server at all, to those who have one server and use a subfolder for a dev site, to those who develop locally and sync with a live server. (I develop locally using MAMP, test in sub folder on live server.)
And particularly if you’re more than a one woman team, version control is becoming more popular (exmple here or search for expression engine and version control- there’s a good bit of info.)
Short answer is- it really just depends on your needs your preferences. I’ve come to really appreciate GIT once the guys got me using Tower.
