If your blog is under construction then you can display a Customized Coming Soon Page or Under Construction page to normal visitors or regular members of your WordPress based Blog while the Site Administrators see the fully functional website with the applied theme and active plugins as well as a fully functional Dashboard.
Custom Coming Soon Pages WordPress Plugin will enable you to perform upgrades, fix nasty bugs or preview jazzy enhancements to your design live on your WordPress based blog without letting your users and normal visitors see crappy error messages or changes to the design until you really want them to.
Some features of the plugins are:
- Controlled Access:
Only Normal Visitors and Regular Members will see the Custom Coming Soon Page. If the Site Administrators are logged in, they will not see the Custom Coming Soon Page but will be able to view the fully functional blog with the current applied theme and active plugins as well as full access to the WordPress Dashboard. - Customizable Content:
Customize the Title of the Coming Soon page as well as the coming soon message that is displayed from the Plugin Settings in your Dashboard. - Customizable Backgrounds:
Specify any color for the background or use an image of your choice from the Plugin Settings in your WordPress dashboard. - Create your own Custom Coming Soon Page templates:
You can create your own Custom Coming Soon Page templates using XHTML / CSS / PHP and plug them into the plugin for use. - Countdown Timer:
Going to launch your website on a Specific Date? Specify it in the Plugin Settings and Display a cool Count Down Timer on your Custom Coming Soon Page. - Know-When-We-Launch:
Let your users subscribe to your website and get notified via email when you launch. - Social Networks:
Integrated Twitter and Facebook features lets your visitors follow you on these social networks until you launch. Just specify your user ID in the plugin settings in your WordPress Dashboard.

As George said it looks like a maintenance plugin. It is really helpful when your blog is down or you are doing maintenance work.

Nice guidelines! Designing coming soon page may make a great impression as well as the curiosity of readers. 404 pages experiences can be applied here also, do you think so?

Interesting. ‘Maintenance Mode’ is a similar plugin for WP that shows up a maintenance page, not for under-construction sites though.
