What to tell your assistant for a coming-soon page

Describe what is coming and what you can already say with confidence. A useful holding page gives visitors enough context to decide whether to get in touch, even while the full offer is being prepared.

• •The project or business name, a short description of the offer and the people it is intended for
• •The launch date or expected period, distinguishing a confirmed opening from a provisional target you may need to change
• •The location or area served, and whether the launch concerns a physical place, a service or a product
• •Your available logo, product photograph or preview image, with a clear note about anything still illustrative
• •The action visitors can take now, such as sending a question or following a link to an external signup service
• •The contact details you will monitor before launch and approved facts to keep when the full site replaces the page

Introduce the launch here, link to signup and preorder services

Your static page can present the launch and offer a contact form. Those messages arrive in your SayLive space and email inbox. For a managed waiting list, subscriber accounts or preorders with checkout, link to a specialist service. Anything needing accounts, a database or payments happens there. Describe the contact form as a way to write to you, without promising automatic launch notifications.

As plans firm up, one sentence starts the change: "Replace the provisional launch date with this confirmed date and add these product details." Review it, then request a new publication. The site includes 150 publications, and earlier versions can be restored. Publishing the full site later keeps the same address.

You can connect a domain you own once the site is paid. Use the briefing guide to decide what visitors need now and which content to gather for the full site.
