 * Hi, my maintenance-mode plugin is showing as activated, but original page still
   showing. Have tried clearing cache. Suggestions?

 * yep. maybe you have an static cache; how Super Cache or you are logged in and
   all logged in users with enough rights see the frontend, not the maintenance 
   page.

 * Hi Frank, do i understand correctly that once this plugin is installed the people
   that come to the site will see the maintenance mode page in stead of my websites
   front page? When I go to the site and click on one of the pages in the menu it
   does show the maintenance page. I just want all the people that come to the site
   to see only the maintenance page for the front page. Thanks for all you do.

 * <es, the people see allways the maintenance mode page; but you set excludes in
   the options. Only the users, there can logged in, see the frontend after login.
   You can set on setings, which user role can login in.
