Launchpad — free startup website template
A single-page startup site for launches and waitlists: one claim, three benefits, a short story and one call to action.

About this template
Launchpad is built to be rewritten. Early-stage positioning changes weekly, so the page is deliberately short — one claim, three benefits, a paragraph of story, some proof and a single call to action repeated twice. Everything is text and colour rather than bespoke illustration, which means a founder can change the whole pitch and regenerate the site in an afternoon.
What is included
- Short, rewritable structure for changing positioning
- Three-benefit grid instead of a long feature list
- Founder story section that builds credibility without a team page
- Single call to action repeated at both decision points
- No illustration dependency — type and colour only

Who this template works for
Nothing about the industry is hard-coded. Every heading, service name and photograph is editable, so this design adapts comfortably to any of the following:
- Startups
- Product launches
- Waitlists
- Beta programmes
- Indie products
- Crowdfunding campaigns
How it behaves on different screens
Desktop
Content is centred in a normal container with a multi-column layout.
Tablet
Grids collapse to two columns and spacing tightens so nothing feels cramped.
Mobile
Single column, a full-width tap-friendly menu, and images sized to the viewport.
The exported site has no framework, no jQuery and no build step — one stylesheet and roughly a kilobyte and a half of JavaScript for the menu, the FAQ accordion and the contact form.
Questions about this template
Is the Launchpad template really free?
Yes — free to download, free to use commercially and free to modify. There is no paid version and no watermark, and you do not need an account. The one condition is a small "Made with StencilNest" credit link in the footer, which is what keeps the templates free.
What do I actually receive?
A ZIP containing a single HTML page, one stylesheet, a small JavaScript file, every image used on the site, a favicon, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, a web manifest and a README explaining how to publish it.
Can I change the colours and fonts?
Yes. The editor exposes the primary and secondary colours, background, text colour, font pairing, corner radius, button style, spacing and container width. Change one value and it applies consistently across the whole site, because the template is built on design tokens.
Can I remove sections I do not need?
This template has 9 editable sections. Any of them can be switched off or reordered in the editor, and switched-off sections are simply not written into the exported files.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Everything is edited through plain form fields with a live preview next to them. If you do know HTML and CSS, the exported code is clean, conventional and easy to edit by hand afterwards.
Where can I host it?
Anywhere that serves static files: shared hosting over FTP, or the free tiers of Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages and Cloudflare Pages. The included README walks through each option step by step.
