Need to keep current website running while I re-develop using WordPress

  • Can I initially install WordPress in a sub-directory and then move across to the main site when its ready?
    The reason I need to do this is I am currently updating an old clients website (v.old website!) and I have been considering using WordPress.
    I need to keep the current website running while I re-develop using WordPress. As the existing site deals with alot of traffic, I dont want anything interfering with it until I get the new wordpress site totally ready.

    If I initially get it all setup in a sub folder can I then move it easily to take over the existing site when I’m happy with it? Will it mess up the ODBC / Access databases on the existing site?
    Will it take any re-jigging?
    I’m totally new to wordpress but it has been strongly recommended to me by a friend and colleague.
    Regards
    Rich
