You don't have to wait until you finish your website completely to go online. While you are filling your future website with images and content or making a significant redesign, launch a Coming Soon (or "Under Construction") page to give your site visitors an idea of what to expect next. This page will act as a teaser for the upcoming website and will allow you to capture leads even if the work isn't done yet.

Some use cases for the Coming Soon page:

• It gives your clients a better understanding of what's coming up while the site is still under development.
• If this is a brand new project, the Coming Soon page acts as a sneak peek of what it's all about.

The page allows you to collect leads and research the market, also verify ideas. For instance, if you're launching a start-up, a Coming Soon page will help you analyze the prospective traffic and measure the interest in your idea.

The Coming Soon page helps keep the site visitors engaged. Just add a contact form there and grow your list of leads. Send newsletters, promos, and notify your visitors once the website is launched.

Follow the instructions below to create a Coming Soon page.

• If you're only starting to build your site with Devellp, choose a suitable template from the Pages tab in the gallery:

In case you've already created a site, add a page to your site to build a Coming Soon page from scratch. You can also create a separate site with the needed template (for example, "Under construction") and then copy its page to your main site.

• Open the future Coming Soon page and change its content:

• The primary rule here is to keep a page as simple as possible. However, don't forget to give your visitors some useful information about your site and your company.

Adjust a page to the overall design of your site:

If you already have a logo, initial design, color scheme, or a chosen font, use them on your page to create a style that customers will remember.

Add a subscription/ contact form to a page:

Allowing visitors to subscribe to the newsletter is great for further website promotion. If you skip this, some visitors may miss the launch of your website.

Add a contact form,, change the layout, adjust its style and set an email to receive form submissions.

Show some progress to the audience:

Place a countdown to indicate the time before the launching of the full version of the site. The article Adding a countdown will help you set the date.

Add social links to a page:

Another way to connect with your audience is to use Twitter or other social networks. Follow the instructions in the article Global social links for more information.

• Once you've done customizing the page, open its settings by clicking on the "gear" and set it as a Home page:

Don't forget to change the meta tags for your page and customize its social preview.

Publish your site for the changes to appear live.
