Coming Soon Pages
A 'Coming Soon' page is the perfect way to launch your site without people seeing the changes you make to your main site.
They are built without a main menu so that this is the only page on your site that people can reach. The aim of a Coming Soon page is to generate interest / enquiries while you build your site and provide a way for people to stay notified on when you launch.
This allows you to build interest prior to your main site going live and also gives you a headstart when it comes to search engines indexing your website.
Depending on your business, you can:
- Use a Coming Soon page to direct people to where they can find your local business
- Generate enquiries by sharing your contact details
- Direct people to your social profiles so they can find out when your site goes live
