Site status: coming soon, maintenance, lockdown

Take the whole site or one section at a time offline while you build: Coming soon with a countdown, Maintenance, or Lockdown for admins only.

Built and shipped on NoCode Outlaws. Stack-agnostic.

Decide per client

  1. Section list and which URLs belong to each (prefix matching).

Whole-site modes

  • Live.
  • Coming soon: minimal branded page (logo only, no nav), headline, message, countdown to launch date, email box tagged "Coming soon". HTTP 200, noindex.
  • Maintenance: "Back soon" page with message and email box. HTTP 503 with Retry-After.
  • Lockdown: admins only. Plain "Closed for now" page, no email box. Non-admins cannot sign in ("The site is closed right now. Only admins can sign in."), sign-up closed, signed-in members shut out. Confirm dialog before switching on. 503.
  • Always reachable in every mode: login, logout, password reset, email confirm and unsubscribe links, assets, payment success/cancel pages, and raw endpoints (payment webhooks, cron, health, service worker, manifest). Never gate webhooks.

Section modes

  • Each section: Live, Coming soon, Maintenance, optional message, optional opening date (countdown), "hide link" checkbox.
  • Off sections render inside the normal site layout (member sections inside the member layout) with an email box tagged "Coming soon: Blog" or "Maintenance: Blog". Rest of the site keeps working.
  • "Hide link" removes the section from header nav, mobile nav, footer and member sidebar while off.
  • Custom pages are matched by the catch-all route, not
