WP maintenance splash needed?

Hey all,

I do not particularly like that the changes on my WordPress site are seen in real time on my domain.

One idea to circumvent that would be to build a custom maintenance splash page i could display as long as i am building my site.
Although i do not know how i could check my changes at the times the splash page is live. (Yes i am a WP newbie).

Or are there better ways to do something like this?

Cheers

You can make a new page, name it something random and set it to private under visibility. The content will be only visible to you and no one else.

If I'm doing work that will take more than half an hour, I will use a plugin call "Maintenance Mode"

Maintenance Mode Plugin — Software Guide

I turn it on, it tells people the site will be "back soon" (or whatever you tell it to say).

Then when you're finished you turn it off.

  There is also a Coming Soon! plug-in from CSS Jockey that is very customizable.
