To build a WordPress site without making it publicly accessible, choose one of three approaches. 1) Local development with Local by Flywheel, MAMP, or XAMPP - install WordPress on your computer, build, and only deploy to live hosting when ready. Best for designers; free; no public URL exposure. 2) Staging environment on your hosting - most managed WordPress hosts (Kinsta, WP Engine, SiteGround, Cloudways) offer one-click staging on a subdomain like staging.yoursite.com with HTTP Basic Auth or IP restrictions. Costs nothing extra and lets you collaborate. 3) Password-protect the live site during build - install "WP Maintenance Plugin" or "Coming Soon Page", set a password, and add Settings → Reading → tick "Discourage search engines from indexing this site" (which writes a `noindex` meta tag and disallows in robots.txt).
