Designing A Coming Soon Page

by Paulo Miranda on December 8th, 2009, 1 Comment

There are many ways to promote your website without waste money. The first step is to create a page where people will start noticing what you are doing before you launch. Getting Real Book has got a very interesting chapter about the importance of creating a buzz about your product before you launch.

Hera are some useful practices to help you when designing your Coming Soon Page.

1 - Slogan – You should be able to tell people what you’re doing in one short phrase, with three to seven words.

2 – Mission – Here you can tell people the purpose of your business, blog, etc.

3 – Features – Explain what people will be able to do on your project.

4 - Illustrations – “A picture worth a thousand words”

5 – Transparency – Display links to social networks you are engaged.

6 – Buzz – Testimonial quotes from people who have already seen your website. Until you build your trust, people are more likely to believe in others folks.

7 – Blog - Update your blog the ideas and the inspiration that led you to decide to build your website or blog. People love to discover the backstage.

8 – Creativity – The best way to develop your brand is to do something better than others or create a new concept from scratch. The first option works more effectively than the second. Bill Gates and Google Founders were not the first ones who created an operating system and a search engine.
