Dawn

A minimal waitlist page.

Dawn is a waitlist site for a physical product, in the Minimalism style: a warm bone ground, ink, stone grey and one accent, dawn amber, kept for the sun, the submit button and one link state. A refined serif (Instrument Serif) for the big lines, a calm grotesk (Hanken Grotesk) for everything else, hairlines between rows, no cards and no shadows. The sample product, Morrow (a bedside light that wakes you with a thirty minute sunrise), its dates, price and specification are invented sample content.

The 3D moment

A thirty minute sunrise compressed into seven seconds: the sun climbs from behind a full-width horizon line, ember to amber to daylight, as the clock runs 06:30 to 07:00, then the clock becomes a slider that replays any minute.

What you get

Straight from the template's README, the same file you will find in the repository.

  • Home (index.html): a centred two-line serif headline, one sentence and a joined email field, standing over a full-width horizon line where the sun rises; a four-stop "A morning" timeline whose small suns grow and warm from 06:30 to 07:00; a line drawing of the product with dimensions beside a spec list; a dark band with a night photo and a struck-through list of what the product leaves out; how the waitlist works beside a morning photo, with the price; questions in a ruled accordion; a closing form over a setting sun.
  • Your place (joined.html): where the form lands. Shows the saved email, the date, the batch and what happens next; copy a link for a friend; use a different email; leave the list (with its own confirmation state). A browser that has not joined sees a designed empty state with a way back to the form.
  • 404 (404.html): "This page slept in", with the sun below the horizon.
  • Form states: empty ("Add your email first."), invalid, loading ("Saving"), saved. Visible focus everywhere.
  • Light and dark themes (follows the system, with a toggle that remembers the choice), phone to desktop.

The licence, in short

One purchase covers every site you build. Read the whole licence

You can

  • Build as many websites and web apps with it as you like, for yourself or for clients.
  • Change anything: code, design, copy, colours and layout.
  • Charge clients for the work and hand them the finished site with its source code.

You cannot

  • Sell, give away or publish the template itself, changed or not, as a template, theme, starter, kit or design file.
  • Use it in a product whose main purpose is letting others build sites, like a site builder or theme marketplace.

Every sale is final. If it is broken, we fix it or refund you.

The full source is yours the moment you pay, so judge a template from its screens and preview video first. If it does not work as described, write to hello@cardzo.co.in: we fix it, and if we cannot within 14 days of your report, you get the whole payment back. Sales and refunds
