Ivana is a sleek, modern, and highly professional "Coming Soon" or "Under Construction" template. While themes like "The Novelist" or "Teapoz" are full-scale websites, Ivana is a specialized tool used during the "pre-launch" phase of a project.
It is designed to hold your domain space, build anticipation, and collect leads while your main site is being developed behind the scenes.
Visual Countdown Timer: A high-precision animated clock that tells visitors exactly how many days, hours, and minutes remain until your official launch.
Newsletter Opt-in Form: A central feature designed to capture email addresses (usually via Mailchimp or Ajax) so you have a list of customers to notify the moment you go live.
Full-Screen Media Support: Allows for high-impact backgrounds, including:
Static Images: High-resolution photography.
Video Backgrounds: Cinematic loops that give a high-tech or luxury feel.
Ken Burns Effect: Subtle zooming/panning on images to create a sense of motion.
Social Media Connectivity: Includes a set of clean, minimalist icons to direct traffic to your Instagram, X, or LinkedIn while the site is down.
About & Contact Sections: Most versions include "slide-down" or "overlay" sections where you can explain the project or provide a temporary contact email.
Scenario
Why Use Ivana?
New Brand Launch
Build mystery and collect early-access signups.
Major Maintenance
Keep a professional face for your brand while fixing technical issues.
Portfolio Preview
For creatives who want to show a "Coming Soon" page before their full work is ready.
Domain Parking
Professional way to "park" a URL you just bought before development starts.
First Impressions: Most "Under Construction" pages are boring. Ivana uses bold typography and smooth animations to make your brand look premium even before it exists.
Lead Generation: Instead of a dead link, you turn your "construction" period into a marketing campaign by collecting emails.
Easy Customization: It is typically very lightweight and easy to set up, allowing you to change colors and fonts to match your eventual brand identity.
The "Lead Magnet": Don't just ask for an email. Offer something in return for the wait, like "Sign up now for 20% off our launch day" or "Get an exclusive preview."
Keep it Simple: The goal of Ivana is to provide one clear action—signing up for the newsletter. Avoid adding too much text; let the countdown and the imagery do the work.
Check Mobile Responsiveness: People will often find your "Coming Soon" link through social media on their phones. Ensure your countdown timer and email field are perfectly centered on mobile screens.
