Elementor Coming Soon Template: 11 Free Layouts to Import

A coming soon page holds your place while the real site is still being built. It tells visitors what is on the way, gives them one thing to do, and keeps a half-finished design out of sight. Building one from scratch in Elementor means spending design time on a page that may live for only a few weeks.

The WDesignKit library already has the layouts. It lists 11 free Elementor Coming Soon sections, numbered Coming Soon 1 to Coming Soon 11, plus three Pro coming soon pages from the BumpBlossom kit family. This guide goes through all 11 free ones, shows three of them in detail, lists the plugins they need and walks through importing one into a page.

Everything about the layouts here comes from the WDesignKit template library and the live demo of each section, checked on 13 November 2026. Where something is advice rather than a product fact, the text says so.

What a coming soon page needs to do

A visitor who lands on a pre-launch page wants to know three things: who you are, when you open and how to hear about it. A page that answers those three questions in a few seconds has done its job. Most of the 11 layouts are built around the same small set of parts:

• A headline that says the site is coming soon.
• A countdown in days, hours, minutes and seconds, in most layouts.
• An email field with a Subscribe button, in most layouts.
• A logo, and in some layouts contact details and a photo.

What you add on top is up to you. A launch date, one sentence about what is coming and a reason to subscribe are usually enough. Anything longer belongs on the finished site.

Coming soon page or maintenance page?

The two are easy to mix up. A coming soon page stands in for a site that has not launched yet. A maintenance page covers a live site that is briefly offline for updates. The layouts in this guide are coming soon layouts, and their copy reflects that. If you need a maintenance screen instead, change the wording before you publish, because a countdown to a launch date makes no sense on a site that is already live.

The 11 free Elementor coming soon sections in WDesignKit

All 11 are marked Free in the library and built for Elementor. Each one lists the same two required plugins: Elementor and The Plus Addons for Elementor, both on their free plans. None of them asks for a licence. Every section also links to a live demo, so you can look at the layout before you import anything.

Layout by layout

Notes on each of the 11, based on the first screen of its live demo. The best-for lines are advice.

Coming Soon 1

A blue illustration sits on the left. On the right are the headline, a two-line intro, an email field with a Subscribe button and four countdown boxes for days, hours, minutes and seconds. There is no photography. Best for: A brand with no images ready yet.

Coming Soon 2

A Coming Soon headline, the line “Our new website is on its way.” and a Contact Us card with email, phone and message fields and a Subscribe button, with a photo under the headline. There is no countdown in the first screen. Best for: A site where people mostly need to reach you.

Coming Soon 3

The logo, a Coming Soon headline, a countdown, a Newsletter block with an email field and a Subscribe button, and four portrait photos on the right. The demo text under the Newsletter heading is placeholder copy, so write your own. Best for: A newsletter-first launch with a date to announce.

Coming Soon 4

A digital-style countdown sits above the email field, with an email address and a phone number underneath and a photo on the right half of the page. The contact lines in the demo are placeholders. Best for: A local business that wants visitors to call or write.

Coming Soon 5

The left half holds the logo, the headline, one line of explanation, a circular countdown, the email field and an email address and phone number. The right half is a photo. The demo uses placeholder contact details, so replace them before you publish. Best for: The same job as layout 4, with a rounder look.

Coming Soon 6

The photo is on the left. The logo, a COMING SOON headline, the line “Get Ready for Something Amazing”, four countdown boxes and a Subscribe button are on the right. The first screen does not show an email field, so check the layout in the editor before you rely on it for sign-ups. Best for: A page where the photo carries the mood.

Coming Soon 7

A logo and a photo on the right, with the words “We are… Coming Soon” above a thin rule, then a support line with a phone number and an email address. There is no countdown or email field. Replace the contact details before you publish. Best for: A placeholder for a few days while you build the real site.

Coming Soon 8

A full-width photo with the headline “Something awesome is in the work.”, four white countdown cards and an email field with a Subscribe button. Best for: A brand with one strong photo and a fixed launch date.

Coming Soon 9

A dark photo fills the top of the page with the headline over it, four white countdown cards and the email field underneath. It is the most photo-led of the set. Best for: A brand with a strong team or product photo.

Coming Soon 10

The logo is centred above a COMING SOON headline. The countdown shows four numbers separated by thin dividers, with an email field below and a line about subscribing to the mailing list or following on social media. Best for: A clean page that points people to your mailing list and social accounts.

Coming Soon 11

The countdown sits at the top, above a “We are COMING SOON” headline, a sentence about what you are preparing and the email field. The demo sentence mentions a blog magazine website, so edit it to match your site. Best for: A content site that wants a short explanation on the page.

Which layout to pick

This part is advice, not a measured result:

• No photos yet: Coming Soon 1, 10 or 11.
• Visitors may need to reach you: Coming Soon 4, 5 or 7, which show contact lines, or Coming Soon 2, which is a contact form.
• A launch date you want people to see: any layout with a countdown, which is every layout except 2 and 7.
• A strong brand photo: Coming Soon 6, 8 or 9.
• A logo, a photo and a short line: Coming Soon 7.

What to write on the page

Pick the layout first, then write the words that go in it. A few habits that help, again as advice:

• Say what is coming in one sentence. “A new portfolio for wedding photographers” tells a visitor more than “Something awesome is in the work.”
• Give a date if you have one, and if you do not, remove the countdown instead of leaving it at zero.
• Tell people what they get for subscribing, such as a launch discount or early access.
• Keep contact details real, because visitors may try them.

Free and Pro options

The 11 sections above are free. The library also lists three Pro coming soon pages, one in each of the BumpBlossom Heal, Cure and Plus Elementor kits, a beauty and wellness kit family. They need a Pro licence and The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro on top of the free plugins. If you are not sure which plan you need, the WDesignKit Free vs Pro guide lists what each tier includes.

How to import a coming soon section into Elementor

These steps follow the WDesignKit import flow and the troubleshooting checks described in our Elementor template kits guide.

1. Install and activate Elementor and The Plus Addons for Elementor.
2. In The Plus Addons for Elementor, go to ThePlus Settings, then Plus Widgets, and enable all widgets.
3. In Elementor, go to Settings, then Features, and set Flexbox Container to Active, as the WDesignKit troubleshooting guide advises.
4. Log in to your WDesignKit account from the plugin on your site.
5. Open the page you want to use with Elementor. Click the WDesignKit icon, go to Templates, find the Coming Soon section you want and click its download icon.
6. Replace the headline, logo, text and contact details with your own, and set the countdown to your launch date.
7. Before you publish, look at the page on desktop, tablet and mobile.

If elements are missing after the import

The WDesignKit troubleshooting guide lists the usual causes: you are not logged in to your WDesignKit account from the plugin, a required plugin is not active, widgets are switched off in The Plus Addons for Elementor, or Flexbox Container is not active in Elementor. Work through them in that order and import again.

Make the section your own

Once the section is on a page, you edit it like any other Elementor layout. Click an element in the editor and change it in the panel. The parts worth changing first are the ones that identify the site:

• The headline and the line under it. Replace demo copy such as “Grace Salon is your destination for a touch of elegance”, which is the intro text in the Coming Soon 1 demo.
• The logo. Several layouts show the WDesignKit logo in the demo, so swap in your own.
• The photo, in layouts that use one. Use an image you own and compress it before you upload it, so the page loads quickly on mobile.
• The colours. The demos use a blue accent on the buttons and headline, so match them to your brand.
• The countdown date, or the countdown itself if you do not have a date yet.

Change one thing at a time and check the page after each change. If a section looks different from the demo after you edit it, undo the last change before you go further.

Set up the email field properly

A coming soon page that collects email addresses is only useful if those addresses end up somewhere you can use them. The layouts give you the field and the Subscribe button. Where the submissions go is up to you, so decide that before launch, not after. Send a test submission, confirm it arrives, and write down which tool holds the list.

It also helps to tell visitors what they will receive. One line next to the field, such as “We will email you once, on launch day”, sets the expectation and keeps your first message from feeling like a surprise.

Launch day: replacing the page

A coming soon page should go away the moment the real site is ready. Before launch, build the real pages in a draft state, review them on a phone, and keep the coming soon page live until the last check is done. Then switch. If you used a countdown, make sure the date is not still ticking after you have launched.

Keep the list you collected. Write the first email to those subscribers before launch day, not on it.

Mistakes to avoid

• Leaving the countdown at 00 days, 00 hours. It tells visitors the launch has already slipped.
• Publishing placeholder contact details from the demo.
• Using three different photo styles on one page.
• Adding a long menu. A coming soon page has one job, and every extra link competes with it.

Check these before you go live

• Remove every placeholder. The Coming Soon 4, 5 and 7 demos show example contact details, and Coming Soon 3 shows placeholder text.
• Find out where the email field sends submissions. The layout gives you the field and the button, and you connect it to your own email tool.
• Set the countdown date, then look at the page on a phone as well as a desktop.
• Log out and open the page the way a visitor would.
• Check that you can still reach your own admin area.

Where to go next

A coming soon page is one section. If you want a full set of pages for the launch, the template kits guide covers whole-site imports, and the best free Elementor templates roundup lists single pages.
