Is there a way to configure a temporary maintenance page for a website?

I'd like to be able to do the following:

Have a django app at root (/) of a website
When required, be able to point root (/) to a 'maintenance' page (e.g., we're doing some work, we'll be back online in X hours)
Easily switch back to the application when the maintenance is completed

Is this easily doable?

apache configuration
