Launching a project requires capturing early audience interest without exposing an incomplete site. Wildon provides a pre-launch landing page framework designed for creative professionals and developers who need a temporary online presence.
Built on the Bootstrap framework, Wildon is a responsive under-construction HTML template optimized for high visual impact through video and media hero backgrounds. It is best suited for photographers, digital agencies, designers, and freelancers needing a customizable coming-soon page with integrated lead capture. It is not suited for users seeking a dynamic CMS theme like WordPress or database-driven backend platforms without manual conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this template work directly on WordPress?
No, Wildon is a static HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript template. Using it on WordPress requires converting the markup into a custom WordPress theme template or utilizing a custom landing page plugin.
How do the form submissions work without reloading the page?
The included contact and newsletter forms use asynchronous JavaScript (Ajax) coupled with server-side PHP scripts. Inputs are validated on the front end and sent in the background without refreshing the user’s browser view.
Are demo imagery assets included in the download file?
The download package includes all functional code, stylesheets, PHP handlers, and the full Ionicons font icon set. Visual preview images sourced from services like Unsplash, Pixabay, and Pexels are for demonstration purposes only and must be replaced with your own media.
