I you are working on live site and you need to make some modifications on live server, during this modification you want to show a user friendly message that "Site is under maintenance" or "Site is under construction." or something like that, without affecting any page or database.

You just need to make a simple HTML page with "app_offline.htm" name and upload it on root directory of the web site. once user try to open this site, IIS will open this page in place of "default.aspx".

and you can write down, user friendly message on this page. after completing your task just delete this file or rename it. and site will start work as it is.
