Planning a major update to your website, whether it\u2019s adding new content, products, or redesigning the entire site? Setting up a Coming Soon<\/strong> or Maintenance<\/strong> page lets you work behind the scenes while showing visitors a professional notice that your site is temporarily unavailable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow these simple steps to create your own Coming Soon page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1. Log in to your WordPress Dashboard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go to your WordPress login page (usually yourdomain.com\/wp-admin<\/code> or \/wp-login.php<\/code>) and enter your credentials to access the dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2. Install a Coming Soon \/ Maintenance Mode Plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many plugins available for this purpose in the WordPress repository. While we don\u2019t recommend a specific plugin, for this guide, we\u2019ll use Minimal Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> as an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Navigate to Plugins \u2192 Add New<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Search for your preferred Coming Soon plugin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Click Install Now<\/strong>, then Activate<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3. Activate and customize your Maintenance Page<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    After activation, look for the plugin\u2019s settings, usually accessible from the WordPress admin sidebar or under Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Use the plugin\u2019s toggle or dropdown menu to enable or disable Maintenance mode<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Customize the appearance and message of your Coming Soon page through the plugin\u2019s settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      The default Coming Soon page often looks simple and professional, but feel free to personalize it to fit your branding and message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Important Tips:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Viewing the Coming Soon page:<\/strong> You\u2019ll only see it if you\u2019re logged out of your WordPress admin. To preview it as a visitor would, use a different browser or open an incognito\/private window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Development:<\/strong> While Maintenance mode is enabled, you can continue working on your website without visitors seeing the changes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Going live:<\/strong> Don\u2019t forget to disable the Maintenance mode or deactivate the plugin once your updates are complete to make your site accessible again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
