How to Set Up a Maintenance Page for Your Site

Need to work on your site without confusing visitors? A maintenance page tells users you’re updating things — and that you’ll be back soon.

For WordPress users, you can install plugins like WP Maintenance Mode or SeedProd. Other CMS platforms have similar tools or modules.

If you’re coding manually, a simple HTML file with a polite message and estimated time works just fine. Add branding or contact info so people don’t think you’ve disappeared.

Hosting dashboards sometimes offer 1-click maintenance toggles too — super handy for quick edits or upgrades.

Want to see which hosts make this process easier? high-availability hosting lists providers with built-in maintenance tools or one-click toggle support.
