# Hide a site to prepare for launch

> Learn to unpublish or hide your site until you're ready for it to go live.

If you're working hard on building out your website, you may not be ready for everyone to see your site until it's finished. Display a temporary "Coming Soon!" message using a Landing Page while you prepare for launch.

<div className="w-full aspect-video">
  <iframe src="https://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/vgwuz4oizd" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowFullScreen className="w-full h-full" />
</div>

## Overview

Hiding your site before launch allows you to work on your website behind the scenes while showing visitors a polished "Coming Soon" page. This approach lets you grow your email list as you prepare to launch and ensures visitors see a professional message rather than an incomplete site.
