Drupal "Coming Soon" page

By jazzdrive3 on 6 Sep 2009 at 20:39 UTC

Is there a module that offers a simple way to show a "coming soon" or "launching soon" page. Where it just has a sign-up form for notifications?

Thanks!

Wondering?

I would like to know if there is a module for this as well. Also if there is another way to accomplish this? On one of my projects I put the site in maintenance mode and had a twitter account for them to follow so I could let them know of the site launch. Don't know if this is the practical way to do this or not but right now it works.

I found this article useful on creating a coming soon page http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/11/10/designing-coming-soon-pages/

I uset he front page module. It allows you to create separate front pages for roles, so you can have one for unauthorized users (i.e. Joe Public) and another for authorized users (which will become the top page when the site goes live). I then set up all blocks to only be viewable to authorized users, and make sure access content is turned off in the user permissions page for unauthorized users.
