Two years back after moving my blog from Blogger to WordPress, I spent more than 3 hours optimization and checking every single post link for any possible error. During those tweaking hours, it’s good to avoid people coming to read your blog, else they might get irritated with 404 error and layout mis-alignment. So the only way to get rid is of this is by using maintenance WordPress plugin.
Talking about maintenance WordPress plugin there are some free popular plugin but to my knowledge their under construction themes are quite old (I am not blaming, but just telling my point of view). WordPress maintenance is a new WordPress plugin which comes with three different responsive WordPress under construction themes.
Plugin Features
- Elegant & Sleek Design
- Countdown & Progress Bar
- Twitter Feed
- Flickr Images Feed
- PrettyPhoto Integration
- Newsletter Subscription
- MailChimp Support
- Contact Form
- Social Icons
- Set Expiration Date
- Form Validations
- Cross Browser Support
- Simple to Customize
- Well Documented
To me, the plugin offers almost everything required in an ideal under construction and possibly making it easy for those who are not familiar with coding. For $13 I think its a pretty fair deal.
