There’s lot of ways of making, buying, or implementing “coming soon” pages or plugins…but I decided that I needed something that was so simple, you install it, and it’s pretty much active or choose to deactivate it without spending extra time one making a splash page with multiple features.
I’ve seen a few of them that are pretty robust and fully detailed. Some were really decorated and detailed that it was like a regular website. The larges ones features a contact form, subscribe form, add social networking sites, add email marketing newsletters, a place to add multiple images, content, change the background color or images, add a couple intro paragraphs, your logo, google maps, Youtube video, your phone number/email and even a clock ticker where it tells you when your site will be launched. So I thought to myself, hmmm, so you basically created a call-to-action single splash page that has about 50% of your website information if not all.
That seems too busy so I decided that nobody has time for that, if it’s a coming soon page. it’s a coming soon page.
It says Website coming soon and that’s it. It’s boring AF but that’s the point of my boring WordPress coming soon page plugin.
You can edit the php code and do as you like with it.
