Put your site into maintenance or coming-soon mode with a branded page — while you keep working behind the scenes.
Show visitors a polished holding page while admins see the real site.
Design the maintenance page with any Tiger template — logo, message, and countdown.
Let logged-in admins and chosen roles preview the live site as usual.
Serve a proper 503 status so search engines know it is temporary.
Pick or build the coming-soon layout you want visitors to see.
Select the roles that should still see the live site.
Enable maintenance mode with one toggle, disable it just as fast.
The HTTP status, and it matters for SEO. Maintenance returns a 503 so search engines understand the outage is temporary and shouldn’t de-index you. Coming soon returns a normal 200, which is right for a site that isn’t live yet, and supports an optional launch countdown.

Yes. Admins can preview the locked screen with a preview query parameter without disabling their own bypass, so you can confirm the design before anyone else sees it.
No. It stays completely inert until you choose a mode — Off is the default, so turning the module on changes nothing by itself.
