A coming soon page with a waitlist and a countdown
Start from the Nook template or a blank canvas, add a waitlist form and a countdown to launch day, and publish on your own domain. Every sign-up lands in your inbox and in Form Entries.
Everything a launch page needs.
-
A countdown to launch day
Add a Countdown, set the date, time and time zone, and choose what it shows when the time is up.
-
Every sign-up, kept
Each address is emailed to you and saved in Form Entries, where you can search the list or export it as a CSV.
-
On your own domain
Point your domain at the page and HTTPS is issued for you and renewed, with nothing to install.
One field, one button, one panel.
Select the waitlist form and its settings open beside it: the layout, the field, who hears about each sign-up, and where people go next.
Form Type
Horizontal puts the email field and the button in one row, as Nook does, in the Classic, New Style or Underline design.
Form Elements
One Email field and the button, renamed to Join the waitlist. Add a Name field if you want one.
Recipient Email
Each sign-up is emailed to your website's collaborators and to every address you add here.
Success action
Send people to a thank-you page or any URL once they join.
What a good coming soon page has.
-
One line about the product
Say what it is and who it is for. Nook does it in one sentence: a gentle focus timer that quiets your phone.
-
A date or a countdown
Name the month, like Nook's March 2027, or add a Countdown that ticks down to the hour.
-
One way to sign up
A single email field and a button, high on the page, so joining takes a second.
-
Links to follow along
Point people to where you post updates. Nook links to Instagram from its header.
Live in three steps.
-
Start from Nook
Pick the Nook template in the editor, or a blank page, and make the words and colors yours.
-
Set the date and the list
Add a Countdown to launch day, then choose who gets an email for each sign-up.
-
Publish and test it
Publish the page, connect your domain, and send yourself a sign-up to see it arrive.
Start from a real launch page.
Nook is a published coming soon page with its waitlist form in place. The others are full pages for an app or a product on launch day. Each has its own desktop, tablet and phone layouts.
Frequently asked.
How do I make a coming soon page?
Start from the Nook template or a blank page, write one line about what is coming, and add a Form with an Email field for the waitlist. A Countdown to launch day is one more element from the toolbar. Then publish.
How do I use the Nook template?
Sign up, add a website or a page and choose “Build it myself”. Under “Choose template”, click “Select Template” and pick Nook, or press Use this template under Nook in the templates above. Your page starts as Nook, ready to edit on the canvas.
Where do waitlist sign-ups go?
To email and to Form Entries. Each sign-up is emailed to your website’s collaborators and to any address you add in the form’s settings, and kept in Form Entries, where you can search the list and export it as a CSV.
Can I email the whole waitlist when I launch?
Siter.io collects the list; it does not send newsletters. Export the sign-ups as a CSV from Form Entries and import them into the email tool you already use.
What happens when the countdown reaches zero?
You choose in When it ends: it stays at 00, shows a text of your own such as “We’re live”, or disappears. The rest of the page stays as it is until you edit it and publish again.
Can my coming soon page use my own domain?
Yes, on paid plans, at no extra cost. HTTPS is included on your custom domain, issued automatically. Each plan also has its own form and submission limits, so check them before you open the list. How to connect a domain, or see the plans.
