: Is there a proper name for a "coming soon" website? I know it is a simple question, but I failed to google it, or the answer is simply "no". A "coming soon" site is a page that keeps on

I know it is a simple question, but I failed to google it, or the answer is simply "no".

A "coming soon" site is a page that keeps on the domain while the actual page is developed. There are examples of it on hongkiat, and those pages can be done on wordpress with ultimate coming soon page plugin.

Is there any proper way to call those pages? Or it is usual calling it "coming soon page"?

I think there are a couple of different names, but it generally depends on the type of content that is presented on the page.

In my opinion, if it is just an empty page with a title and some pretty/cute graphics then a 'Coming Soon' is appropriate because there's nothing else to go on.

If there is some detail about when the page will be launched (usually be using a count down of some sort), then a 'Launch Countdown' page is probably more informative.

If there is some interactive element that also engages the user, or captures email or subscription details, then I think a 'Pre-Launch Teaser' page will give you an idea of what it is about.

And there are still probably lots of different variations/combinations, but hopefully this is a more accurate answer.

In addition to Ryan's suggestions, I also like "Holding Page" or "Placeholder Page."
