Hello Kim,

Thanks for asking about how to "mke your website go dark." It depends on how you built your website.  If you are using an application like WordPress, then you can use a plugin called Maintenance Mode in order to keep people from seeing your website.   If you built your website manually from HTML code, then there will be an index.html file.  This file is the central file from which everyone navigates through your website.  You can create a "under construction/maintenance" page.   You would then replace the index file with the "under construction/maintenance page" or redirect it.  If you continue to require assistance with the "under construction/maintenance page" , then you may need to speak with an experienced web developer or designer.

I hope this helps to answer your question.  If you require further assistance, then please let us know.

Kindest regards,

Arnel C.
