Are you planning some major updates to your business website? Or you are in the process of developing your website?
It would be a good idea to set up an under construction or website under maintenance page so visitors to your website understand when your site will be back online.
The under construction or website under maintenance page can contain your company logo, contact details, and when your website will be back online.
You can even add a simple contact form, newsletter subscription or video to keep customers engaged.
Maintenance pages tend to be less informative, something simple like "website currently under maintenance, please check back in 1 hour".
There are a few good plugins that you can use to create under-construction and maintenance mode pages.
The best free WordPress plugin I have found is "WP Maintenance Mode & Coming Soon".
You can block search engines for caching your website until it is ready to go live, you can even give access to the website backend and frontend for specific user types, this is great if you want to demo a website to a client, but stop anyone else for viewing the website.
There are many more features:
