Arnica - Creative Coming Soon WordPress Plugin 1.9

Arnica is a professional and high-impact "Coming Soon" and Maintenance Mode plugin developed by AthenaStudio. Built on the Bootstrap 5 framework, it is designed for users who want a stylish, creative placeholder page while they work on the backend of their website.

Unlike basic maintenance plugins, Arnica focuses heavily on visual aesthetics and lead generation during the pre-launch phase.

Key Visual Styles

Arnica comes with three primary background variations to help set the mood for your upcoming site:

Single Image: A clean, static high-resolution background.

Image Slideshow: A rotating gallery of images with smooth transitions.

YouTube Video Background: Allows you to play a full-screen video (great for showing off product teasers).

Core Features

Lead Capture: Built-in Ajax Mailchimp integration, allowing you to collect email addresses without the page refreshing.

Countdown Timers: Includes both vertical and horizontal countdown styles to build urgency for your launch date.

Interactive Elements: Integrated Google Maps (to show your physical location) and a functional Ajax Contact Form with validation.

6 Predefined Color Skins: Allows you to quickly switch between different professional color palettes (Purple, Blue, Green, etc.).

Access Control: A "Whitelist" feature that lets you allow specific users to see the actual website (by IP address or specific URLs) while the general public sees the Coming Soon page.

Typography: Full access to Google Web Fonts to match your future brand's look.

Why use Arnica over Free Plugins?

While free plugins like CMP or Minimal Coming Soon are functional, Arnica is chosen for its "Creative Agency" feel. It includes high-end CSS3 animations and a more polished UI out of the box, making it ideal for creative professionals, luxury brands, or startups looking to make a strong first impression.
