Hi, is there a way I can work on another Template but with the original one still showing for people?

Thing is I have a Website,
I have my own custom Theme/Style/Template on it,
but I want to create something for the Summer,
so do a light Summery Theme,
but I need to work on it and see what I need to change,
but I dont want to do it all so everyone can see that im changing it,
so is there a way that the Website as it is now can stay as it is for visitors,
but is there a way where I can see what the Site will look like with my new changes?
(without other people seeing them also)

One way would be to have another test site and working on the template. Once fully tested, it could be copied to the production site.

Another way is to type ?template=template-directory-name or &template=template-directory-name at the end of the URL to display the page in the template of your choice. The former syntax is used for URL that does not have parameters and the latter one is used for URLs that have parameters.

How would I create 'another site' for testing on?
(without paying anything)
