It\u2019s probably the oldest plugin in this collection, but it is regularly updated and comes with many useful functions, so it merits its place here.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for something simple and easy to work with, start with Maintenance Mode. It\u2019s got years of experience behind it, so you know it\u2019ll work right out of the box.<\/p>\n<h2>WP Maintenance by Florent Maillefaud<\/h2>\n<p>Another coming soon alternative is the WP Maintenance plugin. It comes with a great range of features, like a custom logo upload, extra languages, a countdown timer, and a shortcode area for adding an email opt-in field or contact form.<\/p>\n<p>When you are updating your site, you may be doing so for only a few moments, but at other times, you may be resolving time-consuming server issues. Or you might not even have a site online yet, and you want to have a \u201cstay tuned\u201d message. WP Maintenance can handle all of these situations with just one simple plugin.<\/p>\n<p>    <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/speckyboy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wordpress-coming-soon-plugins-02.jpg\" alt=\"WP Maintenance WordPress Plugin\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\"\/><\/p>\n<h2>Coming Soon Page By SeedProd<\/h2>\n<p>For a more focused resource, you might like to take a look at the Coming Soon Page plugin created by SeedProd. The plugin is pretty standard, with a typical \u201ccheck back soon\u201d message and an opt-in field for gathering email addresses. The page is fully responsive and built with CSS transitions to create a nice fading animation.<\/p>\n<p>You can edit the template code manually, but you\u2019ll need to know your way around HTML. The whole thing is easy to set up with a few clicks, and it supports most languages, multi-site setups, and WordPress add-ons like BuddyPress.<\/p>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/speckyboy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/wordpress-coming-soon-plugins-03.jpg\" alt=\"Coming Soon Page WordPress Plugin\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\"\/><\/p>\n<h2>Coming Soon by Supsystic by Supsystic<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for even more features, then take a look at the Coming Soon plugin built by Supsystic.
