How to Create a Coming Soon Page in Draftly
Don't launch to an empty room. A pre-launch page builds your audience before you open.
What a Great Coming Soon Page Has
- What you're building — specific, compelling, 1-2 sentences
- Why it matters — the problem it solves
- Launch date or countdown — creates urgency
- Email signup — the main conversion goal
- Social links — secondary conversion
Messaging Formula
'[Product] is launching [date/timeframe]. [One sentence on the benefit]. Join [N] others on the early access list.'
The Incentive
Give people a reason to sign up:
- Early access or beta invite
- Founding member price
- Free resource on launch day
- Exclusive content for subscribers
Building in Draftly
- Create a new single-page project
- Prompt: 'Coming soon page for [product/service]. Minimal, countdown timer, email signup form. Launch date: [date]'
- Publish to your subdomain while your main domain points elsewhere
After the Launch
When you're ready, redirect the coming soon page to your main site and email your list on launch day.
Tracking
Set up a Draftly lead capture form for email signups. All leads are stored in your Leads dashboard.
