Personally I reckon you should just enable the page. Once it is
already online, particularly if he has visitors, then it going offline
will be more expensive for him, than if it were never online.
Having that said, you could simply password protect it and give him
the password, or else require that any unauthorised IP's view the
under_construction page, whilst, an authorised IP will view the
correct page. This could be a simple if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] !=
'whatever'){ die("This page is under construction");
