What it does
A site under construction still needs a front door. Woodsman covers that stretch before launch with a clean, minimal coming soon page that tells visitors what is on the way and how close it is. A countdown timer shows the time left until launch, and a progress bar shows how far along the site is. You build and edit the page in Elementor with drag and drop, so no coding is needed to change text, images or layout.
The theme is built on Elementor along with ACF Pro and Bootstrap 5, and it includes Font Awesome 6 Pro icons. You can start from four page layouts using a background color, a single image, an image slideshow or a video background from YouTube, Vimeo or HTML5. On top of that sit more than 80 background effects such as constellations, shooting stars, fireworks and geometric patterns. It is WooCommerce compatible, and developers can edit its CSS and JS files directly.
Best for
- Startups preparing to launch a new website
- Agencies building pre-launch pages for clients
