  Hi, I have made major changes to my service and therefore want to temporarily hide my website until I have managed to update it. At the same time, I want to create a landing page for my new area of work. Can I hide the website and create a live landing page?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi lucindaweis,

  Your site can be marked private with these steps:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  Visitors will see a message to say the site has been marked private by the owner but there isn’t an option to display a temporary landing page — this would require a maintenance mode plugin (supported on the Business plan).
