This is a great plugin for offline /manteinace sites... I used it in development, and I am testing and it's so perfect. Thanks for your work
This extension is simple, but offers enough for what it is. For a free extension, you have strikingly freedom in customizing. You can add your own logo, favicon and background image. Fine, that you can add social media.
In short, nothing wrong with that!

Besides been very simple to install and configure, this extension is superb at creating a beautiful looking "temporary" landing page for your soon to be launched site. It's easy to configure with your own logo and CSS. I highly recommend installing AcyMailer too so you can take advantage of the excellent newsletter subscription facility built in to this plugin. An excellent plugin that offers even more functionality than commercial plugins that do the same job. Many thanks!
I needed to hide everything on my client's development site. Including the template.
This worked in 5 seconds. Installed it. Enabled the plugin.
Choose a "Get" word and then the site is hidden to everyone except those who know the "Get" word. Can have multiple Get words for different people. Or can use a static ip as access to the development site. These are just a few of the features. You can have a custom HTML page -- but I chose the default page.
Bravo!

This is a wonderful extension, and a 'must have' for any serious Joomla site.
I'm using the plug-in for 'Under Maintenance' rather than 'Coming Soon' but it works just as well with a little bit of configuration, had something up and running, including installation, within 5 minutes and makes my site look very professional - so much better than the 'built-in' option!
The only thing I found a problem with (and it's NOT a major one!) is that HTML codes () are not supported in the 'Text' box in the 'Display Settings' tab (or i couldn't get them to work) so any text you enter is all on one line.

Hello,
thank you for your review. Even, there is not allowed HTML in the text, still you can use plugin codes there, so you can include for example code to load article, where you can have already any HTML.

I was so pleased to see that this extension was free and easy to use. I had a very small issue (due to my own lack of knowledge) so I emailed the developer with a question and was delighted to get a response and solution within minutes! I'll be keeping an eye out for Pavel's future works. Thanks again!
Thank you for your n3tComingSoon plugin. It is just what I was looking for.
1 - I think Joomla should make this a standard!
2 - I am going to use this in every new website in the future.
3 - I had a little issue with my server, because they did not had the correct time.
4 - I emailed Pavel and he gave me a quick respons explaining me.
5 - What can I say; Thanks for the free plugin and quick support! :-)

Well I can't say I'm adding much insight here but it's true this extension works so easily it's almost not worth mentioning. I am brand new to Joomla, too. Also installed the free version of AcyMailer and that integration was seamless as well. Wanted to remove the "name" field wihtout breaking anything, couldn't find any answers online so sent an email to Pavel who not only responded right away but with an attached modified file for me as well. Who does that?
I must say this is the absolute best extension for Joomla. It is really very easy to use. I was a little confused how to make a text change to the basic installed verbiage. I figured out a much harder way to do it but I also emailed the developer. He responded very quickly and explained how to do it. This taught me about a feature in Joomla I knew nothing about. I reverted the difficult changes I made and followed his instructions.. wow, so much easier.
Personally, I think Joomla! should use this as a built in option to Joomla. I tried using the fairly new option in global configuration for offline installs but it didnt look anywhere nearly as nice as the Coming Soon extension.
Thank you Pavel for a great extension and the great support. A rare thing to see with a non-commercial version.

I like this plugin very much and many thanks to the makers of it. I really would ask you if it's possible to change the english language in Dutch. I think I need an language file for that because I could'nt find it in the files.
Thanks, Marc.
Thanks, Marc.

Hi,
I am not able to provide Dutch translation, as I do not speak Dutch at all. But you have few options:
1/ Create Dutch translation by yourself. If you need assistence, I can provide you some basics how to translate this extension. Just contact me by email.
2/ Use Joomla 2.5 Language override system
3/ n3t Coming Soon gives you an option to use completely custom file, so you can copy basic Coming Soon page, and replace language constants with your customized texts.
Anyone with a Joomla site should get this extension. Great for sites under construction or maintenance. Very easy to setup. Has great configuration options. When I contacted the developer they were very responsive and provided excellent tech support. A must have extension!!!!
Congratulations
This extension is all we developers needed.
Building online for the client to follow the evolution of the project, but without having access to the admin backend.
Simple as that ..
It should be a standard feature of Joomla
I suggested to Pavel implementation of this Newsletter ... and quickly he was able to finalize this integration ... perfect ...
