 [TigreTwoTwoTwo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rickahontas/) July 14, 2017

I use this on three sites and I love it. Would like an option to disable email and
associated scripts for page load time and simplicity, but otherwise great plugin!

This plug-in was really easy to use for newbies and has complete features, in comparison
with other Coming Soon page plug-ins, this one offered everything I was looking 
for. The support was excellent, I received extra tips for a having better page and
improving my text. Jascha was very nice. 5 stars!

### 󠀁[Perfect, Beautiful Coming Soon Page with Email Service Integration](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-beautiful-coming-soon-page-with-email-service-integration/)󠁿

 [elizabethmo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/elizabethmo/) February 4, 2017

I spent ages looking for a streamlined, attractive coming soon page that could collect
email addresses. This plugin was the only one that made the cut. Other plugins allow
you to collect emails, but this one can be integrated with MailChimp and other email
service providers. Incredibly happy with this!

### 󠀁[Amazing Plugin – the best I’ve found](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-plugin-the-best-ive-found/)󠁿

 [muzmeh81](https://profiles.wordpress.org/muzmeh81/) January 19, 2017

The plugin is perfect for my needs. I wanted to a simple plugin that will direct
all traffic to a “coming soon” page, and have premium features like mailchimp integration
and a number of options for customization, and tracked by my site’s google analytics.
This plugin does ALL that – and it’s free. I have installed and uninstalled over
5 different “coming soon” plugins, including the most popular ones. This is by far,
the best. The support from Jascha is AMAZING. Thank you Jascha, and keep up the 
good work!
