Build a coming-soon page at /pages/coming-soon: 'Something Big is Coming' hero with subtle product teaser, countdown to launch date, email signup for exclusive early access (24h before public), waitlist member count for social proof, and FAQs.

Pattern
[Event] + [Offer + deadline] + [Product focus] + [Creative angle] + [Traffic source if applicable] — Fudge fills in the rest (brand voice, fonts, photography, shipping, schema) from your store.
A countdown teaser isn't the only pre-launch format. Ask Fudge to build a few different versions side-by-side so you can preview and pick what fits your brand — try: "Build 3 different pre-launch approaches — countdown teaser, exclusive preview, founder story landing — and let me preview each."

Sections this page should include

  • Hero with subtle product teaser + countdown to launch
  • Email signup for 24-hour early access
  • Waitlist member count for social proof
  • Product preview imagery (without revealing too much)
  • FAQ for launch date, pricing, availability
  • Auto-conversion to PDP at launch

What you're trying to do

Pre-launch traffic is the most expensive traffic you'll ever buy if you waste it. A coming-soon page converts that traffic into a list, then converts the list into Day 1 sales — by giving early-access subscribers a window before the public launch. Compounds: bigger Day 1 = better algo signal = better ongoing sales.

Things to watch out for

  • Email capture — Fudge handles this: klaviyo / Omnisend integration native; goes to a 'pre-launch waitlist' segment.
  • Early access — Fudge gated by a unique 24h-early link in the launch email.
  • Auto-conversion — Fudge handles this: page swaps to PDP at launch automatically.
  • Tease balance — Fudge helps you tease without spoiling.

How Fudge does it

Fudge duplicates your live theme into a draft, builds a custom page template with the sections and logic your prompt requires, and populates it with your real products, pricing, and brand styling. Everything starts in draft — you preview before publishing, tweak any section, and your live store stays untouched until you're ready.

Building a coming-soon page that builds the launch list

A coming-soon page is the pre-launch funnel for a new product or collection. Done well, it captures email signups for early access, builds anticipation, and ensures launch-day traffic. Done badly, it’s just a placeholder that doesn’t move the needle.

When this page is worth building

Build the coming-soon page for any meaningful launch — new collection, new product line, hero SKU. Skip the page for routine restocks or minor updates — those don’t justify the build.

The page works best with at least 3–4 weeks of runway. Less than that doesn’t allow the list to grow meaningfully before launch.

What makes one great

  • ‘Something big is coming’ hero with countdown — the moment, not the product, is the focal point.
  • Email signup for 24-hour early access — the incentive to sign up. “First in line” is more compelling than “be notified.”
  • Waitlist member count for social proof — “Join 2,847 others already on the list.”
  • Product teaser without revealing too much — a glimpse, not the full reveal.
  • FAQ for launch date, pricing, availability — addresses the obvious objections in advance.
  • Auto-conversion to PDP at launch — the URL doesn’t need to change; the content swaps automatically when the timer hits zero.

Common mistakes to avoid

The biggest mistake is revealing too much before launch. The coming-soon page should tease, not show. Save the full reveal for launch day to maximize email signups in the run-up.

The second mistake is missing the auto-conversion. If your coming-soon page is still showing “coming soon” on launch day, you’ve lost the SEO equity and the conversion moment. Fudge swaps the page automatically.

Pair this with a new collection launch page — the coming-soon page builds the list; the launch page captures the conversion.

Common questions

Can I capture phone numbers too?
Yes — for SMS waitlists (Attentive / Postscript), Fudge integrates the phone capture.
How do I incentivize signups?
24h early access + 10% off works best. Fudge can wire the discount code automatically.
What if the launch slips?
One prompt to update the countdown; subscribers are auto-notified.
