* **WCAG 2.1 AA Compliant:** All design presets pass color contrast requirements for buttons, text, and timer elements.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `simple-coming-soon` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. **Navigate to Settings > Coming Soon** to configure your page.
4. Flip the toggle to enable maintenance mode and click "Save Changes".

== Usage ==

**1. How to Enable/Disable:**
* Go to **Settings > Coming Soon**.
* Use the top toggle to turn the page on or off.
* The Admin Bar badge reflects your current status from anywhere in wp-admin.

**2. Choosing a Design Preset:**
* Go to the **Design** tab and click any preset button.
* Presets apply colors, font, glassmorphism, and background mode together — no page reload required.
* Customize any individual field after applying a preset, then click Save.

**3. Designing the "Glass" Effect:**
* Go to the **Design** tab.
* Upload a Background Image or choose Animated Mesh for a no-image glassmorphism look.
* Adjust **Card Opacity** and **Blur Radius** to create the frosted glass effect.

**4. Setting up the Countdown & Auto-Launch:**
* Go to the **Elements** tab.
* Enable the timer and pick your launch date/time.
* Check "Auto-Launch" to have the plugin disable itself automatically when the timer hits zero.

**5. Sharing with Clients (Secret Access):**
* Go to the **Advanced** tab.
* Enter a secret keyword (e.g., `preview`) in the **Bypass Keyword** field.
* Save and copy the Magic Link. Anyone with this link can see the real site.

**6. Adding Tracking (GA4/Pixel):**
* Go to the **Advanced** tab.
* Paste your code into the **Header Scripts** box. It only loads on the Coming Soon page.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

**Q: Why can I still see my website after enabling the plugin?**
A: The plugin allows Administrators to see the real site so you can keep working on it. To see what visitors see, open your site in an **Incognito/Private** browser window.

**Q: How do I let my client see the site without giving them a login?**
A: Use the **Secret Client Access** feature in the Advanced tab. Set a keyword, save, and send them the generated Magic Link. They will be whitelisted via a browser cookie.

**Q: My background or colors aren't changing when I save.**
A: This is usually caused by a caching plugin (like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache). Clear your site cache after saving settings.

**Q: Does the Countdown Timer work in all timezones?**
A: Yes, the timer uses your WordPress Site Time (set in Settings > General) to calculate the remaining time.

**Q: Will this hurt my Google ranking?**
A: No. This plugin sends a **503 Service Unavailable** header with a Retry-After value. This tells Google the site is temporarily down for maintenance, preserving your SEO.

**Q: How do I change the font?**
A: Go to the **Design** tab and use the **Font** dropdown. Choose from Inter, Poppins, Merriweather, Playfair Display, or Space Mono.

**Q: Can I apply a preset and then customize it?**
A: Absolutely. Presets populate the form fields — nothing is locked. Change any field after applying a preset before saving.
