Coming Soon Pro is used for site maintenance, coming soon info or as a landing page plugin, and has some awesome options!
SeedProd has a free version Ultimate Maintenance Mode, but if your using this version your missing out on a lot of very good features that only the Pro plugin has.
Lets take a closer look.
Here is a video presentation I made showing the various options. I made a coming soon screen for a Norwegian web site that does yoga, massage etc. I have also added screenshots further below as well.
After having installed the Pro version you can go ahead an uninstall the free version.
Options are located under Settings -> Coming Soon Pro.

If you ask me why I added all these screens….. I hope many other developers see these options and do similar. It is my goal to share great work, and these are really great and clear options nicely ordered in logical groups.
Please share with others.
Good info. Very useful.
Thank you very much for the detailed review. Great job!
