Each template is different. Since they all include a JavaScript for countdown you should just play around with its settings.

You Rock Aigars. Superb template, it’s looks awesome on my site. Thank You for sharing.
This plugin is fantastic for hiding my sites while I work on them!
However, there are people (such as vendors) that I need to show the site to. Is there a backdoor I could make, such as “mysite.com/preview” or another page/place I could direct them? Also, at what level can someone whose logged in see the pages under development? A “subscriber”, “editor”, just “admin”?
