<p>From the makers of Layers, <a href="http://www.oboxthemes.com/plugin/launchpad" title="The ultimate pre-launch landing page plugin" rel="nofollow ugc">Launchpad</a> by Obox is the best looking holding page for your WordPress site. Great for “coming soon”, “down for maintenance” or launch pages.</p>
<p>There is <em>no</em> premium version! Just great free features 🙂</p>
<h4>What is Launchpad?</h4>
<p>A WordPress plugin that deploys a beautiful, responsive Coming Soon or Down for Maintenance page for your site. Collect emails, change styles, show social links and more.</p>
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
<p>Set your launch date, add your copy and go! Or customize and tweak to get the exact holding page you want before you launch your site.</p>
<p><strong>Where can I use it?</strong><br />
Launchpad can be used with any WordPress install. As long as you have a site and as long as you have WordPress then Launchpad will work for you.</p>
<p><strong>Just set the date and go</strong><br />
With minimal setup required, you can simply set your launch date, hit activate and you’re good to go!</p>
<p><strong>Save face with Auto Launch</strong><br />
There is nothing more frustrating than forgetting to turn off maintenance mode as you go live, so we’ve included an ‘Auto Launch’ switch which will help you save face when you go live.</p>
<p><strong>Works with any WordPress theme</strong><br />
It doesn’t matter whether you use an Obox Theme, a free theme or even a custom built theme, Launchpad will work on any kind of WordPress installment.</p>
<p><strong>Add your own logo</strong><br />
Upload your new websites logo or just add the name in text while the logo get’s designed. It’s all up to you.</p>
<p><strong>Three unique themes</strong><br />

<p><strong>Eleven gorgeous backgrounds</strong><br />
We have included eleven amazing backgrounds to can choose from, however if you decide that you want something more unique, simply upload your own custom BG.</p>
<p><strong>Drag and Drop the layout</strong><br />
