About This Template

The first non-software waitlist

Every other Sitelas waitlist is a SaaS or app. Reed is for a PHYSICAL product — a device you reserve or pre-order before the first run ships. The register is modernist industrial-product: cool paper-grey, ink black, one warm-amber signal, Schibsted Grotesk with a JetBrains Mono spec voice. The whole page is built to sell an object, not a subscription.

Three hardware-native signatures

A primitive-built device mockup carries the product without a single photograph (so it never looks like placeholder stock). A reserve counter with a scarcity progress bar ("487 of 1,000 first-run reserved") does the job a countdown does for a launch — it makes the pre-order feel real and finite. And a mono spec datasheet gives buyers the numbers a physical product is judged on. None of these belong on a software waitlist.

Newsletter-signup / reserve conversion

The page funnels to one email reservation form. Submissions land in the Sitelas inbox; swap the reserve button for a Stripe payment link if you want to take a real deposit, and add a webhook to forward reservations to your fulfillment tool.

Launch in 9 Steps

1

Swap product name (Reed) and the hero headline

2

Rebuild the device-mockup screen content to show your product

3

Set the reserve counter to your real reserved / first-run numbers, and the bar fill width to match

4

Rewrite the spec datasheet rows with your product's real specs

5

Rewrite the three reasons to your product's real differentiators

6

Set the reserve-momentum figures (reserved / run size / ship window)

7

Rewrite the FAQ to your real shipping, refund, and pre-order terms

8

Submissions land in your Sitelas inbox; add a webhook to forward reservations

9

To take a real deposit, replace the reserve button with a Stripe payment link

Reed

Pre-order / reserve waitlist for a PHYSICAL hardware product — the first non-software waitlist in the catalog. Modernist-minimal industrial-product register: cool paper-grey, ink, one warm-amber signal accent, Schibsted Grotesk + JetBrains Mono. Signatures no software waitlist has: a primitive-built device mockup (an e-ink tablet showing a page), a reserve counter with a scarcity progress bar ('487 of 1,000 first-run reserved'), and a mono spec datasheet. Single-page: split hero (headline + reserve form + reserve counter beside the device) → spec datasheet → three-reason strip → slow-craft manifesto → reserve-momentum band → FAQ → reserve CTA → footer. Conversion is newsletter-signup (reserve your place). Demo persona is 'Reed', a distraction-free e-ink writing tablet, but the design suits any premium physical product pre-launch. Distinct from slate/nova/tally/field/glaze — all software.

Warm hospitality link-in-bio for a café, wine bar, or restaurant — a faithful Linktree profile-card.

Ink-brown type, a bottle-green accent, Newsreader + Inter. Inside the card: circular logo → serif name → one-line bio → a 2-up photo-backed action pair (Reserve · Menu) → a grouped flat list panel with photo thumbnails → a social/contact row with a real tap-to-call link, then a horizontal 'on now' shelf of 3 Stripe items, and a short about block the card ends on. The action tiles ARE the conversion (menu-reservation).
