Awesome themes..thanks for sharing ..really liked the wplauncher theme..downloaded and using the same for my upcoming blog.. :)
Great collection of plugins/themes. I’m using one now for my WP site launch
Good stuff Sarah! “Coming Soon” or “Under Construction” or “Place Holder” pages are simplistic, yet necessary. You’ve put together a nice collection over here and I just wanted to say thanks……
Thanks for the great roundup! Love the Placeholder theme.
Great themes, we put up a html page however these look great, I am going to replace our current one asap!
I’d like to recommend my two plugins Ultimate Coming Soon Page and Ultimate Maintenance Mode which can be found on WordPress. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ultimate-coming-soon-page/
nice
I also have a plugin that may interest you, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ultimate-landing-page-and-coming-soon-page/. You can create a coming soon page and a landing. I also have a free pro version of the plugin at http://www.thinklandingpages.com.
Thanks a lot for your work and this fine collection of coming soon themes for my big love (aka WordPress).
I got a lot of inspirations for my own work and projects. So maybe I will try a plugin from your list. I didn’t know that there are even plugins available for usage like this.
Keep going on with your awesome work… ;-)
