The `.maintenance` file is hidden by default.

You can delete the file using Terminal. Here’s how:

1. Open Terminal
2. Change to the Local site’s `app/public` directory. Type `cd` and then drag the `public` directory from Finder into the Terminal window. It should look something like `cd ~/Local\ Sites/LOCAL-SITE/app/public`
3. Run `rm .maintenance`
4. Check the site
