Hey all happy fraiiiiiday!
Ive noticed a few sites with dodgy coming soon pages in generic html and I dont see the point in having a page at all so i thought id give you my story ...
I know a lot of you would have already done this but for the new guys that dont know what to develop id suggest you do this instead of having nothing.
Backpackers.com.au has had woothemes placeholder theme (http://www.woothemes.com/2011/01/placeholder/) on it for a few months now and ive been able to work on SEO which has pushed me to #1-2 for the term "backpackers" in all .au search engines. Installing and customizing this theme took ~10 minutes!
Also this theme has generated 285 email leads using mail chimp (which is integrated in the placeholder theme) and 47 facebook likes ... 47 like without asking for likes from friends - all legit likes straight from the placeholder theme.
Ive also heard great things about http://launchrock.com/ theme but ive yet to test it!
Anyway hope this helps for all of you in need for a coming soon page
