Nova
A website template for an AI product pre-launch that wants a bold, high-hype launch page
Nova is the loud pre-launch waitlist for an autonomous AI operator — a product that doesn't chat, it executes and leaves an audit trail. Instead of the templated dark-plus-glow-plus-card-grid look, the whole page is built around one authored idea: a live run-log. The hero shows the agent working a real task — plan, edit, test, ship — each line timestamped, ending in a green ✓ and a diff. That single artifact carries the entire pitch, which makes Nova the right pick when the product doesn't exist yet and there's nothing real to photograph.
Who Nova is for
Built for these, and tested against them.
- Autonomous-agent / AI-operator product pre-launch

- Developer-facing AI product whose pitch is 'it does the work, with a paper trail'
- AI startup that wants a distinctive dark launch page, not another glow-and-cards template
- Founder generating momentum with a live-demo-style waitlist

About This Template
The page is the operator's console
One bold thing, everything else quiet
Ink near-black, a single amber signal accent, and green reserved strictly for the done state. Syne carries the human headline; JetBrains Mono is promoted to a co-lead as the machine's voice — the log, the phase markers, the ledger, the captions. Eight sections on one scroll: the split console hero, a backed-by line, a four-phase run timeline (Plan · Act · Verify · Log) on a connective rule, a manifesto band, an ordered early-access sequence, a one-line ledger of momentum, an accordion FAQ, and a console-echo final CTA where your email reads as the first instruction.
Newsletter-signup conversion
The whole page funnels to one email-only form. Submissions land in the Sitelas inbox; add a webhook in the form's settings to forward them to your email tool once the audience is real.

Key Highlights
Questions about Nova
Can I change how Nova looks?
All of it. Colours, type, spacing, photographs and every word are yours to edit — in the visual editor, or by asking an AI agent to do it for you. Nothing is locked.
Do I need to know how to code to use Nova?
No. You edit the page by clicking the thing you want to change. There is no code to write and nothing to install.
What does Nova cost?
Nothing to start, and there is no trial clock. A free site runs on a sitelas.com address; Pro is $9 a month per site when you want your own domain, analytics and more room.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on Pro. Point your domain at the site and SSL is issued automatically — there is no certificate to buy or renew.

Field
Image-led consumer-AI waitlist for founders WITH real visual assets. Warm-white surface, pacific-blue accent, Plus Jakarta Sans + Inter — modern lifestyle register. Eight sections: split hero with REAL Unsplash photography (designed for founder swap with real product/lifestyle images), as-seen-in strip, three-step 'How it works' band with image cards, animated counter stats, two-card testimonial pair with portrait avatars, privacy strip, FAQ accordion, pacific-blue final CTA band, footer. Conversion goal newsletter-signup. Distinct from text-led trio: SLATE / TALLY / GLAZE all use hand-rendered cards; FIELD is the image-LED variant for founders building consumer apps where lifestyle photography carries the pitch (photo apps, travel, fitness, wellness, consumer-AI).
Glaze
Editorial-modern AI design tool pre-launch waitlist. Warm cream surface, deep forest accent, Fraunces serif display + Inter body — the creative-pro register. Nine sections plus a privacy page: centered hero with eyebrow + italic-accented serif headline + form, hand-rendered BEFORE/AFTER demo card (two columns showing rough draft vs Glaze-polished), coverage strip naming no publications, animated counter stats band, three-card 'Why Glaze' grid with forest numerals, testimonial pair with concrete designer quotes, privacy/IP strip (your work stays yours), FAQ accordion, dark forest-green final CTA band, minimal footer. Distinct from slate (dark / mono / dev-tools) and tally (stark BW / fintech) — glaze is the WARM / SERIF / designer-audience pre-launch register.
Nimbus
Modern SaaS marketing landing for AI products, dev tools, and customer-success platforms. Bold Manrope display + light gray surface + vivid orange-red accent — agency-dramatic register tuned for B2B-product audiences. Single-page scroll: floating-pill header, announcement-pill hero with dual CTAs, logo strip, about with mission card + stats, 4-up services grid, 3-tier pricing, testimonials, 4-up trust grid, accordion FAQ, dark final CTA with the demo form on the page. Conversion goal is lead-form. Nimbus is the SELL surface, not the read surface.
