Get Ready is a free, responsive HTML5 coming-soon template distributed by ThemeWagon and created by TemplateMO, built to give a pre-launch site a full-screen background slider, a countdown timer, and an email subscription form from a single page. The template runs on plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — no build step — and comes as one HTML file, four CSS files, seven JavaScript files, and slider images.
What is Get Ready?
Get Ready is a free coming-soon HTML5 template built on Bootstrap v3.3.6, jQuery v2.2.3, and FontAwesome 4.7.0, created by TemplateMO and listed on ThemeWagon. It takes a single HTML page with linked CSS and JavaScript assets and produces a full-screen pre-launch experience with a background slider powered by the Vegas plugin, a burger menu that opens a full-width drawer, a countdown timer, an email subscription field, and social media icons. A live preview is available at https://themewagon.github.io/get-ready/.
Key Features
