The Site I'm helping with, is a Prestashop-shop, which I'm not familiar with, yet... I want to do some "behind the scene" changes - like changing the appearance or even making a new theme.
I want the dev-environment to help trying out these things before changing the live-site - and not causing it downfalls.
I don't know exactly what you mean with source management tool, - yet....
I have no other tools atm, but FileZilla for ftp, normal editor like Notepad++ and Prestashop and ofc phpMyAdmin.

Awesome - I would love to know more about that.... (for future calls)

So the Prestashop 1.6 will not run on the Wamp - without serious tweakings?

Probably a too big of a mouthful right now
Thank you sincerely for your time - it is very appreciated!
