Creating a website is a long process. Even if you have skill and knowledge, it will still take some time until you can prepare the website for launch. You don’t want your users to see that your site is under construction and looking broken, right? If you want to get the best response from the audience, you have to wow them – and you can’t do that if the project isn’t complete.

So, while you testing your skill behind the curtains, that does not mean that you can’t start. If you launch a coming soon page, you can make people interested.
