Cool And Free Launch Page With Ajax Newsletter
Almost every web project needs a "launch page (under construction page)" or a page to show when the website is under maintenance.
Rather than creating a new one from scratch for every project, here is a free launch page with an Ajax newsletter.
Before reading further, here is the demo for it.
Don’t forget to bookmark this resource at del.icio.us.
E-mails are saved in a .txt file with ";" delimiters. So they can be used anytime with a simple copy-paste.
Important: Before using this free launch page, change the name of the text file to anything hard to guess and also update the name of this text file in newsletter.php file’s 1st line.
You can use this template as is or update it easily to fit your needs.
Features of this free launch page:
- Ajaxed interface
- Server-side e-mail validation (secure)
- E-mails are saved in a text file with ";" delimiter. So, when your website is launched, you can simply copy and paste them to your favorite e-mail application and announce the launch.
- Configurable error & success messages
- Cross-browser (tested in all major browsers)
Requirements:
- Uses jQuery and jQuery PNGFix plugin (both included with the download).
- PHP support.
PSD files of bubbles are included in the download package.
This launch page is free to use (no links required) but can not be distributed from any other website or sold.
If you share it as a resource in your website, please link to this post. Thanks.
Compatibility: All Major Browsers

This was what I was searching some days ago! Thanks!
with changing code for my needs… So this post came as inspiration
I played with CSS and HTML little to customize it more
I tried using this page but whenever I add email it says Email is Invalid and sometimes no message. In all the cases the success balloon does not show.
Any heads up?
@Techster,
Can you make sure the text file has write permissions.
And alos that you2ve updated th ename of th text file in newsletter.php at 3rd line saying:
$newsletterFileName = “file.txt”;
When I check from Firebug, I see the error that seems like a permission problem.
@wrd
Thanks for the reply. I forgot to change permission; works with granting world write ability to file.
Thank you, works fine.

not working
@askin,
It can be a “write permission” problem to the text file.
Try this to see the error:

@askin,
The website seems to be not reachable right now.
hi there! thanks a lot for your great website and the cool launch page! unfortunately it is possible to insert a wrong e-mail adress like benjamin@webresourcesdepotcom, where the dot is missed in the second part of the e-mail… just that you know! kind regards from switzerland, bensch@amin!
@bensch@amin,
Thanks for following WRD & nice to see that you liked the launch page.
I’m normally not a PHP guy & found the open-source e-mail verification class from a script website by trusting the comments that it was perfect. Seems like not.
I’ll check to findout another class for that & would be nice if you know one & share.
Thanks.
it is lovely, many thx

@manHa,
Nice customization, beautiful use.
Hey thanks wrd
Could you please explain how a ‘website downloading program’ would skip finding this file?
@Waz,
Simple, there are no links to the file that anyone including those programs can see.
How do I install this?
wrd, what is that permissions that the txt file must have?
@taylor,
Simply put the files on your website and give the text file write permissions.
@beto,
It requires write permissions
AWESOME. Using it now.
Any site that requires an “under construction” page should not be online. Thus, an “under construction” page/script is not needed. Putting a site online before it’s ready is like inviting people to your house before it’s built. Makes no sense.
@Matt,
I have to disagree with this.
It is generally the users who want to find information about a service/company whether they are invited or not.
So, even though you don’t provide the full content, you may still want to display your phone, address etc. until your site is built as it will still be helpful to anyone who searches you on the net.
But it may be a wise decision “not to inviting them” before the site is ready.
Nice script, it will be very helpful for future projects.
Thank you
hot apply in Joomla web??
Super cool. Thanks!
Nice, thank you.
CHMOD txt file to 777
Pity the email validator doesn’t accept +’s. It’s part of the RFC spec and lots of gmail users use it.
Thanks a lot for this…I’m thinking to implement this on Joomla but there’s a conflict issue with built in mootools lib so I have to looking around about this 1st.
Thanks again
This is really good script and not to mention its free! I tested it on my localhost environment and run it without any errors or whatsoever but I have a problem running it live on my host. The confirmation success and error balloons doesn’t show up. I checked every line of codes and applied appropriate permissions on my host but still it doesn’t show up. I checked the online “file.txt” and its adding email addresses on the file. Any ideas? Thank you very much.
