Coming Soon Page for a WordPress Website in South Africa
As a regular internet user in South Africa, you must have seen the Coming Soon pages on a few websites. These pages usually give us a general idea of what's coming... of course! Do they really make an impact though? A well-designed, stunning Coming Soon Page definitely does. In this article, we will discuss how you can create a Stunning Coming Soon Page in WordPress for your website in South Africa.What is a Coming Soon Page?By definition, a Coming Soon page is a temporary landing page that provides information about a new product, service, or website that is not yet ready to be launched. You may or may not see a countdown timer on these pages, but that is beside the point for now.The real idea behind a Coming Soon page is to collect customer information for marketing purposes. In this sense, the page will likely offer you a chance to stay informed by providing your name and email. However, most Coming Soon pages are not predatory. Predatory in the sense that they will demand your data right off the bat. If they do demand your data, usually in the form of name and email, then they will offer some 'exclusivity' in return. For example, they will offer a useful PDF booklet or some behind-the-scene peeks and whatnot. It differs from website to website.So, yes. You can see all the content on a Coming Soon page without providing your name and email. However, if you want to stay informed, consider providing them with your details. Remember, you can unsubscribe from mail lists at any time.Creating a Coming Soon Page for your WordPress website in South AfricaThe process is quite simple.First, log in to your WordPress dashboard. Once you see the Dashboard, go to Plugins and click on 'Add New Plugin'. The plugin we prefer is 'CMP Coming Soon'.

In this video, we have extensively explained the step-by-step process of setting up and customising the plugin.ConclusionCreating a Stunning Coming Soon Page in WordPress is a creative process. That means we cannot exactly show you the way of creating one from scratch. However, understanding the tool itself will help you put your wonderful ideas on a canvas and create mini-masterpieces your website would call a 'Coming Soon' page.We are also currently developing a WordPress Web Building course for beginners.
