Default Advice on how to develop and deploy new look please.

I'm looking for advice on the best way to re-theme/re-skin our x-cart site that is live.

Is there a way to create a new skin folder (e.g. skin2 - by copying the skin1_original folder), make my changes to these files, and preview it on the live site? Then upon completion of the re-skinning, change the configuration settings and switch from skin1 (current skin) to skin2?

Or

Should I copy the site to a development server, edit the skin1 template files and then once happy simply overwrite the old skin1 template files with the new skin1 template files on the live webserver?

What would you recommend as the best process? Is there another, better way to do this.

Thanks.
