Launch template

A date to wait for, large, at the foot.

Who it is for

For something not out yet: a product, a course, a shop. A tall bar along the foot of every page, on a plum gradient, a megaphone before the launch date and a Join the waitlist button at the end. Phones get the date alone. A visitor who closes it does not see it again; give it an end on launch day, and it leaves when the waiting is over.

Questions

Something else? Write to us.

Will it push my page down?

Only if you choose Push it down. By default it sits over the edge and nothing moves. A header you fix to the top follows it with top: var(--widgetjoy-top-offset, 0px).

Does a closed bar come back?

Not for that visitor, until you publish again.

Can I schedule it for a sale?

Yes. Give it a start and an end; outside them, it is not shown.

Will it slow my site down?

No. It loads after your page has appeared.
