When you're working on a site that's on a live domain, you sometimes need to take the site offline to visitors. If your building a site from scratch on live hosting you'll certainly want to restrict access until you're ready. Using a maintenance mode plugin is an easy way to do this.

Hi Alex
I’m venturing into the world of websites. I’ve tried a couple of things but way too complicated for my tiny brain!
Giving WP a go and came across your fabulous videos! Love them!
I do have a question. If I set up my WP site on my iMac can I continue to work on it on my MacBook Air? Or are some of the files held in the original set up place? Hope you understand what I mean!
Cheers Tracy
Hi Tracey,
Thanks for the comment. I’d recommend working on your site straight off you hosting. You shouldn’t need to install anything on your computer and you’ll be able to work on it anywhere there is an internet connection.. Take a look at this video. It goes through it step by step.. http://www.wpeagle.com/wordpress-tutorials/beginners/make-website-wordpress-feb-2015/
Let me know if you need more help.
