How to temporarily take your website offline with a holding page

A holding page temporarily replaces your website for visitors. Your Webfactory account remains open, and ongoing fees continue.

Keeping a holding page active for a prolonged period may affect how your website appears in search results. Turn it off when you're ready for visitors to see your website again.

Click on the 'Content' tab.

Step 3

Find the 'Holding page' section.

Step 4

Toggle the 'Enable holding page' button to turn it on.

Step 5

Customise your holding page using the available settings. For more details, check out our support article on how to set up and customise a holding page.

Step 6

Save your changes by clicking the 'Update settings' button.
