Coming Soon Pro is used for site maintenance, coming soon info or as a landing page plugin, and has some awesome options!

 

SeedProd-Coming-Soon-WordPress-plugin-screen

 

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.

The plugins below the Settings tab are….
Duplicator – backup/clone site plugin. Duplicator plugin video
Buttons – an easy to use button creator (briefly tested). Max Buttons Plugin

When the plugin is enabled by turning on Status in Settings. An alert will show up top next to your login name.
