How to create an under construction page

To add an under construction page to your website you can use a number of different options. The most obvious one is to use the default.htm of our website. This will then show our default page on the website. However, if you want to personalize this then you can perform the following steps.

WordPress under construction page
As soon as you have installed WordPress you can install a plugin to show an under construction page, this will allow you to continue working on your website in the background until it is finished. An
example of a plugin that takes care of this is:

There are a lot of options to extend this even further, like an automatic time or date after which the under construction page needs to be disabled. And after this the website will be live.

Always pay attention when installing plugins if they are suitable for your website, and if the reviews are good, and the plugin is recently updated. At the time of writing this applies to the indicated plugin.


Adding your own under construction page

To add your own under construction page you can simply edit the default.htm from us, here you can then remove the content by opening it and modifying it.

With a little basic HTML knowledge you can make this as elaborate or simple as you choose. Another idea is to download a Bootstrap template and put it in there as a temporary solution. When you search for "Under Construction Bootstrap templates" you will find a lot of examples. With a few changes in HTML you can quickly convert them to your own information. As soon as you go live you can then remove them, or disable them.
