In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a visually appealing “Coming Soon” page on Webflow. A “Coming Soon” page is a great way to build anticipation and gather email addresses before launching your website. With Webflow’s powerful design tools and easy-to-use interface, creating a professional-looking Coming Soon page is a breeze.
Step 1: Create a New Project in Webflow
First, log in to your Webflow account and create a new project. Choose a blank template or start from one of the available templates that best fits your style and needs. Once you’ve created your project, you’ll be taken to the Webflow Designer where you can start building your Coming Soon page.
Step 2: Designing the Layout
To create an eye-catching Coming Soon page, it’s important to pay attention to the overall layout and design. You want to make sure it stands out while still conveying the essence of your brand or website.
Tip: Use bold text sparingly to emphasize important information or headings.
Here are some design elements you can incorporate:
- A striking hero image or background
- A clear headline indicating that the website is coming soon
- A brief description or tagline about what users can expect
- An email subscription form
- Social media icons for users to follow and stay updated
Step 3: Adding Elements
In Webflow, you can easily add elements and customize them according to your preferences. To add an element, simply drag and drop it from the sidebar onto your canvas.
To add an image:
Drag an Image element onto the canvas and upload your chosen hero image. Adjust the size and position as needed.
To add a headline:
Drag a Heading element onto the canvas and type in your desired headline text. You can choose different heading sizes using the options in the Design panel.
To add a description:
Drag a Text element onto the canvas and enter your brief description or tagline. You can style it using the typography options in the Design panel.
To add an email subscription form:
Drag a Form Block element onto the canvas and customize it by adding form fields such as Name and Email. Connect it to your preferred email marketing service to collect subscribers’ information.
To add social media icons:
Drag an Icon element onto the canvas and select social media icons from the available options. Link each icon to your respective social media profiles.
Step 4: Styling Your Coming Soon Page
Now that you’ve added all the necessary elements, it’s time to make your Coming Soon page visually engaging by applying custom styles.
To change colors:
Select an element, navigate to the Styles panel, and modify its background color, text color, or border color according to your brand’s color palette.
To apply custom fonts:
In Webflow, you can choose from a wide range of Google Fonts or upload your own custom fonts. Select an element, go to Typography in the Styles panel, and select your desired font family, size, weight, etc.
Step 5: Publishing Your Coming Soon Page
Congratulations! You’ve created a stunning Coming Soon page on Webflow. Now it’s time to share it with the world.
Tip: Before publishing, make sure to preview your page in different devices and screen sizes to ensure it looks great on all platforms.
To publish your page, click on the Publish button in the top-right corner of the Webflow Designer. You can choose a custom subdomain or connect your own domain for a more professional look.
Once published, share the link on your social media profiles, email newsletters, or any other channels where your audience can find you.
Conclusion
Creating a visually appealing Coming Soon page on Webflow is not only important for building anticipation but also for leaving a lasting impression on your audience. By following these steps and incorporating design elements such as bold text, underlined text, lists, and subheaders, you can create a professionally designed Coming Soon page that reflects your brand’s identity and sets the stage for the launch of your website.
