I'm going to do some changes to a copy an existing umbraco site and I'm going to do that while working on another server.
Therefore I wan't the site to show an under construction page, so it's only myself who can see the page and the changes I make.
The version is 4.9.
It's also important that the development page is not indexed by google.
I'm new to umbraco, so if anybody can tell me the best way to do this I would appreciate it very much.
I have login to the umbraco video tutorials, but don't know if any of the videos takes this subject up.
You could create a new site within your Umbraco back office and direct your hostname to the new site. You'll be able to do this via Manage Hostname option on a node's context menu. That way, visitors will be directed to the new site and you'll still be able to edit/preview the existing site. Once you have completed your changes, just move the hostname back to your original site.
To keep your under construction site away from search engines, you could create a new template which adds a no index, no follow meta robots tag to the head of the page. This will also make sure you are no affecting the page template for the under construction site will you are making changes to other templates.
