Whether you are just starting with your new webpage, or you are in that stage where only a few steps are separating you from the first launch, the UnderConstructionPage plugin is there for you! Creating a unique place on the web for your cafe, or restaurant, or even a shop, or you are trying to promote online your services whatever kind, is not an easy task to do but you must start somewhere.
Whilst still coding it or trying to find the best marketing stepping stone that will skyrocket your webpage, you should leave a mark online to start attracting visitors to it that may become your regular ones one day! The solution for that is to have a landing page. The landing page is nothing more than a single page with essential details about the exact launching date and other subtle elements such as social media buttons.
You have probably seen it million times in your life. It has a countdown timer highlighted in the first plan with the company’s logo, related background image, maybe a progress bar, subscription form, and social profile icons.
These can help you buy some more time while making everything up and running and still drive the traffic up if everything is done correctly, e.g. social media icons placed in the right spot. Regarding the terms driving the traffic up, we mean communicating with your fellow visitors using the aforementioned social profile icons and subscription, and email forms.
The whole idea of these kinds of forms is to collect the visitors’ emails to share newsletters about your idea and business. Let’s paint a picture here – the visitor came by and he liked the idea of what are you going to do. He wants to stay in touch and have a reminder when the actual website comes live.
You set the subscription form on your landing page where he will enter his email address to receive the newsletters regularly from you. This is called well-executed marketing while the website isn’t even functioning yet.
Now when we scratched the surface it is time to dig deeper and introduce you to the UnderConstructionPage plugin. This one is widely-used and one of the most popular plugins for this occasion since both the free and PRO versions have every feature needed for easy use and set up on your WordPress page.
