Head to Settings > Site Availability and toggle on Password Protected and add a password.

This means that in order to view your website, a user will need to enter the password. This helps to keep everything confidential for the client until they are ready to launch.

Another option is to head to Settings > Permissions and Ownership and here you can invite contributors. You can add your clients to the website, giving them viewer access, which means they can view the website but can’t start making any changes.

Once you’re ready to publish the website, head to Settings > Site Availability and click the Upgrade to Publish button.

You’ll then be directed to select your Squarespace plan before publishing your website and setting it live.
