In this article, we\u2019ll show you how to create a coming soon page in WordPress to boost pre-launch buzz.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, first, what is a coming soon page?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>What is a Coming Soon Landing Page?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A coming soon page, also called WordPress coming soon mode, is when you hide your website under a single landing page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, when a user visits your website, they can only see the coming soon page, like in the example below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"coming$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This lets you hide the work you\u2019re doing on your website behind-the-scenes and get it ready for launch.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And instead of having users see your unfinished membership site, you can give them a teaser about what\u2019s to come.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
