Introduction

The Instauro theme is based on the new popular Flat Design. It was created to be a Coming Soon Page and/or Maintenance Page, so its suits the purpose of a one page website, which attract and keeps the visitors on the site.

The theme can be divided into two main parts. The first one (the board) was inspirated by an Open and Close Sign to attract the users attention and contains the basic informations, like a Title, Short Description, Countdown Timer, Social Links and a Subscription Form. The Subscription Form has a validation to avoid false subscribers, if the subscription is going well than the board flips with a smooth and realistic validation.

The second part of the theme contains the Social Timeline. Here you can show your Facebook posts and Twitter feed on a time line. This ensure that you visitors can check your activity here and doesnt have to navigate to your social page, and probably ensure a subscription.
