Northlane: Design studio template
A studio site that reads like a manifesto.
For small design studios: a full-screen serif manifesto, a cursor-follow work index, services as a hover list, a logo wall, a client's letter, a giant marquee CTA and a contact footer.
About the Northlane template
Northlane is a studio site that leads with a point of view. A full-screen serif manifesto, a work index with a cursor-following preview, services as a hover list, a logo wall, a client's letter and a giant marquee CTA end in a footer with the studio's local time.
A studio site that reads like a manifesto. It is a complete design studio landing page for React and Tailwind CSS 4, assembled from 8 Charcoal UI sections.
Who Northlane is for
- Branding and design studios.
- Small creative agencies.
- Independent creative directors.
- Architecture and interiors practices.
What is inside
8 sections, top to bottom:
- Navbar Floating: A glass pill that hides on scroll down, with a gliding hover highlight and a mobile sheet.
- Hero Manifesto: Full-height serif manifesto: lines rise in turn, numbered principles and a hand-drawn signature.
- Gallery Work Index: Agency work index as a table, with a preview image that follows the cursor over each row.
- Features Hover List: Services as a big type list; hovering a row floats a photo beside the cursor.
- Logo Wall: Grid of customer wordmarks; hovering a cell slides the logo away to reveal that customer's result.
- Testimonials Letter: A customer's thank-you letter on lined paper with a serif body, a P.S. and a self-drawing signature.
- CTA Marquee: Giant scroll-reactive marquee type with a round let's-talk button on top, for studios.
- Footer Contact: Studio footer with a giant email link, address, hours, live local time and a huge faded wordmark.
How it is built
Headings switch to the serif token across the page with one class. 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.
