If you are mainly worried about the search engines crawling and indexing the site, put a robots.txt file in the root of the site with the following content:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /


This will stop the site from showing up in the major search engines. Then you can remove the disallow rule when you are ready for it to be indexed.

If you are more worried about the site being publicly visible, then you'll have to do as others have suggested, and setup some type of user authentication.
