Can you recommend a plugin that I can install to make my wordpress/buddypress site closed for development?

I'm building a social network and don't want it public until it's ready to go live, but I'd need to keep access to it as the site admin while it's being designed and developed and don't know what the best solution is. I'd need to put up a holding page to say that the site is being developed and will be launched in October this year.

Any suggestions?

Hi the easiest way I know to do this is to use a coming soon plugin it won't be public but when you are logged in as admin you can see the full site with no issues https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-coming-soon-page/
