Is there a temporary page you can set up while my website is being built?
Yes, can quote you for the creation of a holding page. A holding page is a single page that can be put live on the Internet and connected to your domain name to advise visitors that your new website is being built and provide contact details.
This page does not have much functionality (such as forms, image galleries, etc). But you are able to include an email address which can be setup to open an email program (e.g. Outlook) when someone clicks on it. It will automatically include your email address so that users can email you easily.
Your Account Manager will be able to show you the options in the quoting process. Once the quote has been paid in full your Account Manager will arrange a meeting with your designer to discuss the requirements. Once the page has been finalised, it will be deployed on our server and you will be provided instructions to make changes to your domain name in order to bring up the holding page.
The holding page is not managed via the Content Management System, so changes cannot be made easily to this so we recommend that you review thoroughly before approving the page to be deployed.

If you have an existing website that is due for hosting renewal or if it has been taken down for some reason then its a great idea to have a holding page in place to advise your customers what is happening and provide them with contact details to get in touch with you. |
