: What is best practice for search engines when a website is under maintenance? I need around a week to transition a heavily data-driven website from one back end to another. During that time
I need around a week to transition a heavily data-driven website from one back end to another. During that time I do plan to attempt to keep some pages live, but they won't all work well or look brilliant. Some pages won't work at all.
What is the best way to ensure I don't scare Google? Should I hide everything from robots.txt, or mark everything that doesn't work as "503", or are there other things that I should be considering?

503 everything is the best strategy I can think of, together with a retry after HTTP header.
