Overview
When a WordPress site is under construction or undergoing changes, visitors can see a dedicated coming soon or maintenance page instead of the full site. LaunchGuard Pro lets you customize the page layout and branding, then use a countdown timer to show the planned launch date or a subscription form to collect visitor details.
Access controls let specific user roles or IP addresses view the full site while other visitors see the launch page. The plugin also includes responsive layouts, multilingual support, and a real-time preview so you can check page changes before they appear to visitors. It suits site owners, developers, and agencies managing pre-launch work or site maintenance.
Features
- Coming soon and maintenance pages: Display a dedicated page while a WordPress site is being built or updated, with customizable templates and layouts.
- Countdown timer: Add a countdown to the page to show visitors when the site is expected to launch.
- Subscription forms: Place a subscription form on the coming soon page to collect contact details from visitors before the site goes live.
- Visitor access controls: Allow specific user roles or IP addresses to view the full site while other visitors see the coming soon or maintenance page.
- Custom branding: Adjust logos, colors, and backgrounds to match the site’s visual identity.
- Responsive layouts: Use coming soon and maintenance pages designed to display on desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones.
- Real-time page preview: Preview page changes as you customize them, so you can review the result before showing it to visitors.
- Multilingual support: Create coming soon or maintenance pages for audiences using different languages.
