Building Suspense On a New Website

Promoting something before its even live is a great way to gain interest in your work/efforts ,

I have been working on a new site for a while and its about ready .. i picked up a flash countdown timer and it will redirect to the sites real home page when it reaches 0 pretty freaking awesome !!

Bombers Brand - A Brand of Our Own - Launch Countdown

the countdown timer was only $8 ! and took about 10 mins to upload and customize , just a thought for those of you who are building a site ,

remember index.html trumps , index.htm , index.php and index.asp as the home page

Re: Building Suspense On a New Website

This is a good idea, how has the traffic been to that page?
I've helped on a few sites that we build "buzz" about the brand, it's a great way to launch if you have all your ducks in a row I tend to blow deadlines when it comes to my own site..

Cool countdown Diesel!

Brandon, that's the only problem with countdowns...if things aren't ready, it's kind of a bad situation

Re: Building Suspense On a New Website

Very nice countdown timer. I usually hate noise on websites, but this is one instance it adds a nice touch.

You seem to really be branching out with diesel stuff, good to see what started as a forum turning into a whole brand.

The noise was the only thing that put me off, though it was very subtle, took me a few minutes to work out whcih tab wit was coming from, lmao.
