Why put the WordPress website in Under Construction mode?
We will try to find out why we need to put the WordPress website in Under Construction mode. At a time when you are updating your website or preparing a new launch, it’s worth not just taking your project offline, but launching a start page, which announces the imminent launch of the full version of the project. Such a page will help not only inform the target audience, but also attract the interest of new users. Using this page, you can collect user contact information, or even ideas and funds for restarting the project.
If you just put Under construction on the main page, then you will miss out on a number of potential opportunities to communicate with your audience. Follow these guidelines so that your homepage for a future project can help you get ahead and communicate.
Information is an important factor
For large brands, the start pages of future Internet projects are usually well-supported by advertising and online promotions, which allows them to attract attention. They spend a large marketing budget on attracting attention, even if there are only a couple of lines of text on the maintenance page. But if you are not so well known and do not have a lot of money for marketing, then you need to create a page that still tells the user what is waiting for him and why this site may be useful to him.
The easiest way to inform future users is to place a video clip on the start page with a story about what site will appear here in the near future. The visual explanation will help new users understand what exactly awaits them after the Under Construction mode ends.
It is important to indicate the launch date
Do not forget to indicate the date on which the launch of the full version of your Internet project is scheduled. That’s very important for your users, but much important is to mention the right launch date, so think about it twice then add the launch date. Among the good ideas is to set up a counter for counting down to make it clear the time remaining before launch. True, in this case, you must be 100% sure that the site will work exactly on time(also, check our WordPress Pricing table plugin).
Start promoting your website
We strongly recommend you not promote your domain without having the maintenance page. At the same time, you need to add some text on page and meta tags(title, description, keywords). After that you can promote it. Adding inbound links to your site will help you in the search engine promotion of the project, even before its full-format version starts working. Try to tell relevant resources about your project or communicate with interested bloggers, journalists and users so that they talk about you even before you add the full project(also, check our WordPress Coming soon plugin).
Networking and exchange of opinions, collecting wishes and expectations from the audience is another important component that can be implemented using such a start page with the announcement of the upcoming launch. On the same page, it is quite possible to place links to profiles and pages of your company in popular social networks like Twitter, Facebook and Google+. This way you will attract a potential audience to your communities on social networks without spending a lot of money on social media. Often on such maintenance pages website owners report on how the work on the project is progressing and what new features users expect after launch.
