Liftoff — Free Bootstrap 6 Coming Soon Template
Liftoff is a free Bootstrap 6 coming-soon and under-construction template, shipped as three complete layouts rather than one: a full-bleed photographic countdown, a split screen with the form on a solid panel, and a stripped-back centred version with no imagery at all. A switcher in the header moves between them so you can see all three before choosing.
Coming-soon is a niche where people pick by layout rather than by feature list, so shipping one layout would be shipping a third of a product. Every variant is built to fit 100svh without scrolling on a laptop — a holding page that scrolls has already failed at the job. The countdown reads its target from a data-countdown attribute rather than a constant in the script, so changing the launch date is an HTML edit and the three layouts cannot disagree about when it is. Its aria-live is deliberately off: a region that updates every second is unusable with a screen reader, so the date is stated in text instead.
Key features
- Three complete layouts — full-bleed photographic, split screen and minimal
- Layout switcher in the header so all three are reachable from any of them
- Live countdown reading its target date from a data-countdown attribute
- aria-live deliberately off on the timer — a per-second live region is unusable
- Email notify form using native :user-invalid, no validation library
- Build-progress bar, because a number is more convincing than ‘coming soon’
- Every layout fits 100svh without scrolling on a laptop
- Minimal layout ships with no photography at all — nothing to load
- Bootstrap 6 vendored at a pinned commit, ESM-only, no build step
Before you use it
Bootstrap 6 is in alpha: 6.0.0-alpha.1 shipped on 8 October 2026, and more breaking changes are expected before the stable release. This template bundles the exact Bootstrap build it was tested against, so nothing changes until you choose to upgrade. Bootstrap 6 supports Chrome and Edge 130+, Firefox 132+ and Safari 18+.
