Kickstart: Crowdfunding template

Back the first production run.

For hardware and product crowdfunding: a spec hero, pledge tiers with a funding bar, a production roadmap, backer video stories, FAQs and a newsletter footer.

About the Kickstart template

Kickstart funds a first production run. A spec hero, pledge tiers with a funding bar, a production roadmap, tester video stories and backer FAQs.

Back the first production run. It is a complete crowdfunding landing page for React and Tailwind CSS 4, assembled from 7 Charcoal UI sections.

Who Kickstart is for

  • Hardware crowdfunding.
  • Board games and books.
  • Design objects.
  • Film and creative projects.

What is inside

7 sections, top to bottom:

  • Navbar Floating: A glass pill that hides on scroll down, with a gliding hover highlight and a mobile sheet.
  • Hero Spec: Hardware launch hero: a CSS-drawn product with spec callouts on leader lines and a finish picker.
  • Pricing Donation: Pay-what-you-want block where each preset amount says what it pays for, with a goal bar.
  • Features Roadmap: Public roadmap in Now, Next and Later columns with upvotes that re-sort the cards.
  • Testimonials Video: Video testimonial cards that expand on play with captions and a running progress bar.
  • FAQ Grid: Questions laid out in a grid with a contact card, for short answers.
  • Footer Newsletter: Big footer led by a newsletter sign-up, then the sitemap, socials, theme toggle and live status.

How it is built

Pledges use the donation block, so each one says what backers get. Every section is a separate Charcoal UI section, so you can reorder, remove or restyle any of them, and the accent colour is one CSS variable on the page wrapper.
