   We sometimes build a new WordPress site alongside the existing html site on same server/level. Turning on privacy so search engines will not find new site during the build also blocks them from the existing live site.

   Would it work to have privacy turned off, and just use a disallow of the index.php page if the current home page is index.htm, or is there a plugin that can easily allow access to the current live site while blocking all WordPress pages?

   There are a few plugins that can be used for this including: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/underconstruction/ which allows only logged-in users to access the site.
