In addition, close out access to others and ensure it is only accessible via IPs of the dev team.

In .htaccess, include:

RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /

# Redirect others to main site:
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^xx.xx.xx.xx$
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^xx.xx.xx.xx$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.domain.tld/$1 [L,R=301]

Replace 'xx.xx.xx.xx' with the dev team IP addresses.
