About This Template

Capture interest before the product exists

Slate is the pre-launch waitlist surface. Restrained, technical, monospaced — the visual register indie-SaaS founders use when their audience is other engineers (Linear, Plain, Cron, Cursor, Raycast pre-launch). Near-black background, a single mint accent, Inter body, JetBrains Mono eyebrow labels. No product screenshots needed; the design carries the pitch.

Single-screen scroll

Four sections, fits one printout. Hero with the inline email form lands above the fold on any laptop. Feature trio describes the product in 3 short bullets. Backed-by text strip (no images required — names render as type) carries trust. Footer wordmark + two social links closes. Visitors decide in under 30 seconds whether to drop an email.

Newsletter-signup conversion

The entire page funnels to one form. Form submissions land in the Sitelas inbox AND any connected destination (Mailchimp via Nango, Google Sheets, your own webhook). Wire the email destination at /dashboard/sites/<sub>/integrations once the audience is real.

Launch in 7 Steps

1

Swap product name (Slate) and one-line pitch in the hero

2

Replace eyebrow version label (slate · v0 waitlist) with your own

3

Rewrite the 3 feature trio cards to your product's real capabilities

4

Update the backed-by strip with your real angel investors / advisors / press, or delete the section if you have none

5

Wire the waitlist form to your email tool — Mailchimp / ConvertKit / Beehiiv via Nango at /dashboard/sites/<sub>/integrations

6

Update social links in the footer (Twitter, GitHub)

7

Replace founder note + city in the footer with your own — or remove if not founder-led

Slate

Tech-precise indie-SaaS pre-launch waitlist. Near-black surface, single mint accent, Inter body + JetBrains Mono eyebrow labels — Linear / Plain / Cron / Cursor energy. Single-page broadsheet: monospaced version-eyebrow → restrained two-line headline → one-line pitch → inline email signup → 3-up feature trio → backed-by strip → minimal footer. Conversion goal is newsletter-signup (email-only waitlist form). Distinct from nimbus (full SaaS marketing landing) and flagship (live-product landing) — slate is the PRE-LAUNCH surface that captures interest in <30 seconds.

Free to use · No credit card required
