Coming Soon! WordPress Theme
This theme may go down in history as my lamest theme ever but it’s a utilitarian theme designed with a simple purpose, to display a Coming Soon! message on the homepage as a notice to new comers while the website is under construction.
To install the theme, simply download the ZIP file and uncompress it before uploading the resulting /coming-soon/ directory to your web server.
Why build it?
Actually it’s a funny thing, I’ve written before that sometimes when you write a blog you need to review your Analytics (The Vomitorium and Data Mining) and looking over my numbers today, I’ve seen a steep climb in the number of people searching for a template like this.
The Coming Soon! theme offers users the ability to quickly add a page while still allowing you to track the vital statistics and add plugins such as Google Analytics or keyword tools. The theme makes full use of the header and footer functions, without displaying any actual website content.
Customizing the Theme
This theme is a bare bones WordPress theme. In fact it doesn’t even make use of the Loop so if you’d like to customize it by adding a graphic or changing the text, simply open the index.php file and add basic HTML within the <div> tags.
