In that case, I would instead of having http://www.mysite.co.uk/index.php, use http://www.mysite.co.uk/test/index.php and thus maintain the websites 'static' nature until I can develop the new stuff
- in general (depend to ISP configuration) index.html takes precedence over index.php.
You can test and develop your site and remains visible old site. You can test your cmsms site if you calling www.site.com/index.php and not www.site.com

- for testing you can create a subfolder cms and install there cmsms and "move" when is ready
