A ‘coming soon’ or ‘under construction’ page is just around the corner.
Enjoy.
Archer
Squarespace · Best for: coming-soon pages that collect signups
Archer is an actual coming-soon template: a holding page with a signup form so visitors can be notified at launch. Squarespace hosts and serves it, which means no maintenance-mode plugin or server configuration.
Colorlib Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode (WordPress plugin)
Free WordPress · Best for: switching a live WordPress site to maintenance mode
The only entry here that flips an existing WordPress site into maintenance mode without touching a template file.
It ships 15 designs styled through the Live Customizer, plus a countdown timer, MailChimp lead capture, social icons and a custom CSS box.

Free HTML Bootstrap · Best for: consultancy and agency launches
A trapezium-shaped panel sits over a full-screen photo, which is why it pairs neatly with consultancy website templates such as Cellon. The demo runs a days/hours/minutes/seconds counter, a validated name-and-email subscribe form and Facebook, Twitter and YouTube links.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V02
Free HTML Bootstrap · Best for: launches that need rotating photography
The background is a three-image slideshow rather than one static photo. Countdown, headline and a single-field subscribe form sit centred on top, which works for software company, business and photography launches alike.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V03
Free HTML Bootstrap · Best for: brand-first minimal launches
Everything sits inside one centred white card, with a logo slot above the countdown so branding leads the page. A single email field and a Get Notified button is the whole capture flow, which suits a quiet blog launch.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V04
Free HTML Bootstrap · Best for: colourful launches with no photography
No background photo at all: a violet-to-blue gradient carries the page, so there is no image to source or swap. The countdown holds the centre and the subscribe button opens a modal with name and email fields, keeping the first screen clear.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V05
Free HTML Bootstrap · Best for: flash-sale style countdowns
The countdown runs across the top of a coral-to-pink gradient, giving the page the urgency of an ecommerce flash sale. Name and email fields feed a Get Updates button below, in line with current design trends and app launch pages.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V06
Free HTML Bootstrap · Best for: travel and tourism launches
A FlipClock timer turns the digits over on cards, which reads well against the full-screen photography this travel layout is built around. A name-and-email newsletter block and three social icons complete it.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V07
Free HTML Bootstrap · Best for: maximising email signups
Signup comes first: the email field and Subscribe button sit above the countdown rather than below it. A short anti-spam line reassures visitors and the social icons move to the top of the page, leaving the form in the centre on its own.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V08
Free HTML Bootstrap · Best for: short scheduled maintenance
A gift-card icon stands in for the logo and the timer uses colon separators instead of boxed units. One email field and a Notify Me button sit underneath, which is all a short maintenance window needs.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V09
Free HTML Bootstrap · Best for: purely visual coming-soon pages
There is no email field at all, so the page stays visual and a Sign Up button links out instead. Two background photographs cross-fade behind the countdown, with a small social row underneath.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V10
Free HTML Bootstrap · Best for: creative studio launches
The email field submits through a paper-plane arrow rather than a labelled button, which keeps the layout uncluttered. This coming soon template rotates three background photos and links out to Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V11
Free HTML Bootstrap · Best for: seasonal and winter-themed pages
Four winter photographs rotate behind the timer, making this the one template here with a deliberate seasonal mood. No signup form is included: just the countdown, a Sign Up link and a social row, with timer units hidden on small screens.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V12
Free HTML Bootstrap · Best for: launches with no fixed date
Drops the countdown entirely, so nothing commits you to a launch date. A three-photo slideshow fills one half of the split screen while the other holds the headline, an arrow-submit email field and social links.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V13
Free HTML Bootstrap · Best for: photography and studio launches
A play button sits beside the countdown, so a teaser video can carry the announcement. Four rotating photographs, an arrow-submit email field and a social row round it out, built for photography and studio sites.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V14
Free HTML Bootstrap · Best for: split layouts with one hero image
A reworked version twelve that swaps the rotating slideshow for a single large photograph, so there is only one image to replace. The subscribe field is boxed off from the rest of the panel and there is no countdown.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V15
Free HTML Bootstrap · Best for: retro-styled maintenance notices
Retro type and a card-flipping FlipClock timer give this one a period feel that fits real estate and construction sites. There is no signup form: the timer, a headline and three social icons are the whole page.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V16
Free HTML Bootstrap · Best for: text-heavy maintenance notices
The countdown is drawn as circular progress rings instead of digits, the only one in this list that does. A split layout puts a photo on one side and the maintenance message, an email capture field and five social icons on the other.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V17
Free HTML · Best for: maintenance pages built around social follows
The same split layout as the previous coming soon template, but with a plain digit countdown in place of the circular rings. The footer row still lists Google+ alongside Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest, so expect to edit it.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V18
Free HTML · Best for: plain pre-launch notices
The most stripped-back page here: a headline, a maintenance sentence, a Notify Us button and text social links over one full-bleed photo. No email field and no timer, so there is nothing to configure before uploading it.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V19
Free HTML Dark Mode · Best for: dark split-screen maintenance pages
The content half is near-black with a white logo, the one dark layout in this set. A photo fills the other half and the panel holds the notice, an email capture field and five social icons, which works well for personal sites.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V20
Free HTML · Best for: framed maintenance notices
A white margin and drop shadow inset the photo panel, so the background reads as a framed card rather than a full bleed. Inside sit the notice, a digit countdown, a Notify Us button and a five-icon social row, with no email field.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V21
Free HTML · Best for: flat centred maintenance pages
Structurally the same as version twenty, except the photograph sits on the outer frame and the inner panel stays flat. Countdown, Notify Us button and social row are identical, so choose between the two on the image alone.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V22
Free HTML · Best for: temporary maintenance windows
The one centred layout in this older set that puts an email capture field above the countdown. A maintenance sentence and five social icons sit over a single full-width photo, so it can be uploaded unedited for a scheduled outage.
Download WordPress version Demo
Coming Soon Template by Colorlib V23
Free HTML · Best for: framed notices with a warmer image
The same inset frame and drop shadow as version twenty, paired with a different photograph. Countdown, Notify Us button and social icons stack in the centre and there is no email field, making it a notice board rather than a capture page.

Under Construction WordPress Themes
Divi
Premium WordPress · Best for: Divi users redesigning a live site
The holding page is one of the prebuilt layouts inside the Divi builder rather than a standalone file. The same drag-and-drop editor that builds the finished site builds the maintenance page, which makes it quick during a redesign.
Jevelin
Premium WordPress · Best for: WPBakery-based business sites
Jevelin assembles the coming-soon page with the bundled WPBakery drag-and-drop builder, so no code is involved. It is a full multipurpose theme, so the same licence covers the site that replaces the holding page.
Somo
Premium WordPress Dark Mode · Best for: creative freelancers and agencies
Somo ships a dedicated coming-soon demo alongside its dark creative layouts, so the holding page already matches the portfolio behind it. One-click demo import, an ecommerce section and a set of UI elements come with the theme.
Berserk
Premium WordPress · Best for: shortcode-driven multipurpose builds
Berserk leans on components rather than a single template, with 45 custom shortcodes and 14 header styles to assemble from. WPBakery, The Grid, Slider Revolution and Yellow Pencil are bundled, so the same parts build the store or portfolio later.
Holleta
Premium WordPress · Best for: hotel and accommodation openings
A hotel booking theme that includes a countdown-timer holding page, so an opening date can be teased before rooms go on sale. The same licence then covers the booking pages once the site is live.
Ottro
Premium WordPress · Best for: portfolio launches and redesigns
The coming-soon template is built into the theme, so a portfolio can gather interest before any work is uploaded. Settings are adjusted by drag and drop, and the page can be switched back on later for a redesign.
Facmaster
Premium WordPress · Best for: construction and industrial sites
Aimed squarely at factory, construction and industrial sites, a niche none of the free templates above target. It is a full WordPress theme, so the holding page and the site that follows it come from one install.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should an under-construction page include?
A one-line explanation, an estimated return or launch date if you have one, a way to reach you, and ideally an email signup so visitors can be notified. Everything else is decoration.
Should I return a 503 status during maintenance?
Yes — serve maintenance pages with HTTP 503 plus a Retry-After header so search engines know the outage is temporary and don’t index the placeholder or drop your rankings.
What is the difference between a coming-soon and a maintenance page?
Coming-soon pages preview an unlaunched site and often collect signups (serve those as normal 200 pages). Maintenance pages temporarily replace a live site and should return 503.
Can I add a countdown timer to these templates?
Several entries include one. For the rest, a dozen lines of vanilla JavaScript computing the difference to a target date is enough — no library needed.

where can i find the emails entered in the subscription form?
Marvi,
By default these templates won’t store anything. You need to either add your own backend of integrate it with Mailchimp or other email handling service. That’s up to you.
Hi.
Please can you tell me how to avoid the countdown to “restart” all time i refresh the page?
Thank you very much.
Best regards.
Stefano
Stefano,
Each template is different. Since they all include a JavaScript for countdown you should just play around with its settings.

Hi,
When I try to install these themes, I get a failed message stating that they’re missing css.stylesheet. Can you tell me what it is I’m missing?
TIA
You are getting this error because these are not WordPress themes but HTML templates.
You should tell people upfront that this is only free under an attribution license.
There is still a fee involved to remove the credit link.
It is important (and dutiful) that you inform people of this upfront.
How do I use this for my wordpress blog?

Nothing is missing for V19 nor any other one. However, these aren’t WordPress themes but an HTML templates. Coming Soon plugin for WordPress will be released very soon so stay tuned.
Thanks for the list, very nice variety of themes.
How can i make the subscribe button on coming soon 6 template work with PHP to send email notification?
is there any file to download? it is not included with the template, where i can find it? thanks.
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”?
Depends on the settings you use for the plugin. By default only admin will be able to see the site when logged in but you can change that.
