Based on a screen capture taken by Political Wire, the site, bearing a banner of "The Office of the President-elect," opened with a quote from Romney: "I'm excited about our prospects as a nation. My priority it putting people back to work."

A video of  Romney's acceptance speech can be found on the home page.

According to the Huffington Post, there was also a "Believe in America" section wherein the following were written:

"President-elect Romney has a vision for an American century and has a strategy to secure our enduring interests and ideals. He believes that liberty, opportunity, and free enterprise have led to prosperity and strength before and will do so again."

A subsection titled "Restoring America's Leadership" stated: "President-elect Romney knows many Americans are asking whether our country today—with our ailing economy, and our massive debt, and after 11 years at war—is still capable of leading. President-elect Romney believes that if America does not lead, others will—others who do not share our interests and our values—and the world will grow darker, for our friends and for us. America’s security and the cause of freedom call for strong leadership. "

Meanwhile, a page on "Repealing the Affordable Care Act" said: "On his first day in office, Mitt Romney will issue an executive order that paves the way for the federal government to issue Affordable Care Act waivers to all 50 states. He will then work with Congress to repeal the full legislation as quickly as possible."

There was also a "Join the Administration" page, which warned applicants that "government service is not for everyone."

The "transition website" reportedly went online on Wednesday, a day after Romney's concession speech. The said site was taken down on the same day.
