What Webpapa Close Site does for you
Private while you build
Only logged-in users can see the website, so you and your client can work on it unseen.
A friendly message for visitors
Everyone else sees a short "this site is private" page with your own message, or the login screen.
Kept out of search results
Search engines are told the site is unavailable, so unfinished pages never appear in Google.
Approve new sign-ups
Hold new accounts until you approve them, so strangers cannot sign up and look around.
No comments, no sign-ups
Switch off comments and new user sign-ups completely on sites that need neither.
A clear reminder
A "Private site" notice in the admin bar shows whenever the site is closed.
