Cool Coming Soon

3.0.0

A complete rebuild and redesign. Everything below is part of this release.

• New – three layouts: centered card, split screen, full background
• New – four style presets (Dark glass, Light, Bold, Minimal) that auto-fill a matching colour palette
• New – colour pickers, custom CSS, optional progress bar, and a configurable badge above the heading
• New – self-hosted Inter / system fonts (drops the external Google Fonts request — GDPR-friendly)
• New – use any existing WordPress page as the coming-soon screen (blocks supported)
• New – local “notify me at launch” email collector: custom table, CSV export, optional double opt-in, honeypot — no third-party service
• New – social icons row + contact link
• New – analytics fields (GA4, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel) and Open Graph / Twitter share cards

• New – SEO-safe HTTP 503 + Retry-After + noindex during maintenance

• Improved – rebuilt into a modern, class-based, translation-ready codebase (PHP 7.4+); 7 locales bundled (es, fr, de, it, pt_BR, nl, ru)
• Improved – dependency-free front-end; the public page no longer loads jQuery
