Are you preparing to launch a new website or product or project?
Coming soon pages are not merely placeholders to inform users that your website is under construction or unavailable. They are effective visual marketing tools. They capture interest.
They build anticipation and create excitement about upcoming events like a big clearance sale or a conference. They spread the word about a product that is on the way but not already on the market. And if you're launching a website, they let visitors know what your business is about and when you're launching.
But that's not all: coming soon pages can help you build a list of customers by collecting emails so you can have leads before you open your doors.
On CodeCanyon and Envato Elements, you will find great coming soon plugins that will help you build coming soon pages to generate buzz for your website or project.
