There are several ways to display a maintenance notification message. My preferred method is to use a database table called MaintenanceNotification.

Then, when you load the page, check the database for an existing notification, if there is one, handle appropriately.

**MaintenanceNotification**
MaintenanceNotificationId
StartDate
EndDate
Message
Comments

EDIT

To show a message at the same time every day, when the page loads, compare DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay to the time you want the messaged displayed (use a TimeSpan).

Psuedo Code:

If DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay is >= start time AND ALSO DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay <= end time THEN
     'display the message.
END IF
