Small Talk with Mohit Aneja

Hello Mohit Aneja

When did you feel to create this amazing Plugin ??
Is there any story behind this ? Please we all would like to know??

Mohit Aneja says :Recently I have updated my website to optimize its performance (http://www.cssjockey.com/general-news/performance-upgrade) and I wanted something nice to display the under construction message to my users and needed the ability to work at the back-end at the same time. I created a custom wordpress script for personal use and later optimized it to share with all WordPress users like me in the form of plug-in.

If you feel any more need to be added in the post or any suggestions for the plugin then feel FREE to COMMENT.

Nice one Sunny. Instead of keeping your domain aside, its better to add a custom coming soon page, There are other wordpress theme for the same, but they are simple and not that appealing like this CSSJOCKEY one..

Can this work with an existing section of my blog. For example I have a store section of my blog opening soon and I want to put a coming soon page while I develop it.
