Create a Simple "Coming Soon" Page
A clean, professional "Coming Soon" page for your new business or domain, ready while the full site is being built.
The Problem
You've registered a domain name or started a new business but have nothing live yet, so visitors (or search engines) find a blank page, a hosting default page, or nothing at all.
About this problem
A domain sitting with no page at all looks abandoned, and a generic hosting placeholder page actively looks unprofessional to anyone who stumbles across it early — whether that's a future customer, an investor, or just someone checking you're real before doing business with you. A simple coming soon page fixes that gap cheaply while the proper site is being planned or built.
What's Included
- A clean one-page design with your business name, a short description, and a launch message
- A way for visitors to leave their email if you want to notify them at launch
- Basic social media links if you have them
- Mobile-friendly layout
What's NOT Included
- Building the actual full website — this is a holding page only
- Email marketing/newsletter setup beyond simply collecting addresses
- Ongoing updates to the coming soon page once the real site replaces it
How It Works
- Set up your domain to point to the new page if it isn't already connected.
- Build a simple, clean page with your business name, a short line about what's coming, and any social links you want shown.
- Add an email capture field if you want to notify people when you launch, storing addresses somewhere you can access later.
- Check the page looks correct and loads quickly on both desktop and mobile.
- Hand over how to later swap this page out for your full website when it's ready.
In practice: you buy the service, send over whatever access or details the job needs, I investigate and do the work, and you confirm it's resolved before we call it done.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I collect email addresses to notify people when I launch?
- Yes, a simple email capture field can be added, with addresses saved somewhere you can access and use later.
- Will this hurt my SEO once my real website launches?
- No, a coming soon page is a normal, temporary step for a new domain and doesn't carry any penalty once it's replaced by the full site.
- How long should I keep a coming soon page up?
- As long as you need while the real site is being planned or built — there's no real downside to leaving it up for weeks or a couple of months if that's realistically how long it takes.
- Can I add a countdown timer to my launch date?
- Yes, if you have a specific launch date in mind, a countdown can be added to build anticipation.
- Do I need hosting already set up for this?
- If you don't have hosting yet, basic hosting can be set up as part of getting the page live on your domain.
