Easy, simple coming soon plug-in
i was just looking for a simple on/off customizable HTML coming soon/maintenance plugin. So many have all these crazy redundant features or pro feature locks that clog up your usage of the basic features. This plugin was simple, easy to update and customize. It also didn't conflict with anything else and just did what it said. There are some interesting pro features, but the upgrade asks are not constantly blocking content. I had a little issue with updating the custom aspect and the customer service was great too. When my site grows, I'll definitely upgrade.

Maintenance Mode Truly Made Easy!!
Hands down the best maintenance mode plugin I’ve used! It’s super simple, intuitive, and easy to set up. The UI looks great, and customizing the maintenance screen is a breeze—just drag and drop an image, and you’re good to go. Couldn’t be easier!
