If, for example, your clients want to be able to “turn off” their website for a while, so they can work on new 
content or features of their website, but you don’t want them rummaging through the WordPress Settings pages to do so, this plugin might be something for you.
This plugin creates a very simple little widget for your WP Dashboard, from which the website can turned to / out of maintenance mode.
Activating maintenance mode will display a maintenance mode page with explanatory text for your visitors. Logged in users will be able to view the website as they normally would.
The plugin will automatically create a <code>maintenance.php</code> file and add it to your <code>/wp-content/</code> directory. Customize this page to change the appearance and text of the maintenance mode page.
Known bugs 
* Right now, this plugin will not work on certain servers (like Antagonist.nl) because of a permissions issue.

Dashboard Maintenance Mode

Adds a nifty widget to your dashboard from which you can put your website in maintenance mode.

As a web developer working with WordPress almost every day, very often I came across problem that If I wanted simple maintenance plugin to do some updates on my or client’s website, I came across all these useless and overcomplicated plugins until I decided that I’ll make one myself which will be the one I’ll be confident and happy to use with ease.
<a href="https://plugins.itsluk.as/maintenance-mode/" rel="nofollow ugc">Maintenance Mode</a> is very simple and it’s using WordPress’s wp_die() function which is core function of WordPress, which makes this plugin feel and work as a part of WordPress core. There is settings page under “Settings” in the main wp-admin menu where you can enable maintenance mode or change content using WYSIWYG editor so you can also add pictures, links etc. When activated and logged in as admin, you can see website as usual, rest of the users / visitors can see maintenance mode. You can see the maintenance mode as admin in preview mode using preview link on the settings page or simply open website in private mode or different browser to double check if it’s enabled and working. There is also indicator in admin bar that changes colour to red when maintenance mode is enabled.
Features:
