@Vinnieweaver2

Go to “Publishing Settings”. Change the method to “Configure Manually”.

Give the setup a name so it is easy to refer to it, then set it up to publish to local folder, select the folder.

After that, before you publish your site, go to file menu -\> Publish To and make sure it is the local folder location.

If you want to view your site locally, a great app for that is [Mamp](https://www.mamp.info/en/windows/)

If I am building my website with only RW and Stacks , do I need MAMP? I.E, is there php under these?

There could be PHP, depending on the stacks used. You also might have problems with navigation without a web server such as MAMP.
