I spent an hour looking for an easy way to put a new project in maintenance mode. Seems like Wordpress should have that built in. Simple Maintenance was the answer for what I was looking for. Took two minutes to install and active. Easy!

A simple maintenance page plugin with no b/s or pestering to upgrade to pro [why would you need to do that]. Thanks

You don’t need any fancy-heavy maintenance page plugin when you can use this simple and ultra light plugin. It is also easy to customize if you want, but the default is more than enough. Great and free plugin. No ads.

Really simple and to the point. Exactly what I was looking for. I just had to modify the message and the styles a bit.
