Creating a landing page for a new project

Hi everyone! 

I'm currently working on a fun game and i'm trying to start the promotion ball rolling early. I have picked a name, started to create indev animations of gameplay, and I would like a central "space" to promote the game while it is in development so that when it finally gets released there is plenty of hype.  What is the best way to do this on the itch.io platform? I have the page open and set release status to in development. I have filled in the description and picked a price I am aiming for during the early months of development but I don't know if there is anything special I need to do before launching this page.  Is there an option to exclude pricing initially? I.e. I don't want to take any orders until there is a playable demo of the game but I want the page there so I can actively promote the game using teasers on social media.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

No worries, your page isn't going to accept payments until there's something for people to download. By the same token, however, it also won't show up in searches. You can still use it to promote the game by posting devlogs. Those are sought out by players and developers alike, and once they get indexed by search engines they can draw in quite a crowd.

Thanks! :D
