Hmm, how do I say this without sounding shameless? I just launched Capturely (http://www.capturely.com) to help people, especially web designers, make Coming Soon pages. It takes care of all the backend stuff for you. I'll stop there, though, before this starts to sound like an ad.

From all the Coming Soon pages that I've looked at (quite a few, lately), they all have the headline, short description and an email form. It's far from real data, but hey, that's how pretty much everyone else does it. I'd be curious to run some real tests though, which, hopefully, Capturely will let me do.

Er.. just some ideas for you.

- More landing page themes/templates.

- Integration to email marketing software like mailchimp, newsberry, etc.

- Beta sign-up.

- Countdown clock.

Also (and forgive the nitpick, pretty please) -- on this page: http://www.capturely.com/tour, you should set overflow: hidden, or perhaps adjust those div heights ever so slightly.

I'm seeing a scrollbar on each of the text sections. Using Chromium on Ubuntu.

Someone else in this thread mentioned 'unbounce'. (I can't remember who mentioned, but I'll upvote.)

You should go check out their landing page templates -- they're quite good. In fact, they're so good that I had to go and edit my 'coming soon' page, even though I'd told myself I wouldn't.

Yep, Unbounce does have some pretty great templates. I'm working on a system for templates. If all goes well, I'll get some "whoa, those look great" sorts of templates soon enough.

And thanks for pointing out the Chrome overflow problem. I just fixed it.
