Patron: Creator support template
Let your audience fund the work.
For creators, writers and open projects funded by supporters: a manifesto hero, a support block with impact tiers, a voting roadmap, the team, a supporter's letter and FAQs.
About the Patron template
Patron lets an audience fund the work. A serif manifesto, patron tiers that say what they pay for, a roadmap patrons vote on, the team, a patron's letter and transparent FAQs.
Let your audience fund the work. It is a complete creator support landing page for React and Tailwind CSS 4, assembled from 8 Charcoal UI sections.
Who Patron is for
- Reader-funded publications.
- Open-source collectives.
- Independent creators.
- Podcasts and video channels.
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.
- 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.
- Team Grid: Remote team grid: big initials over a duotone photo of each person's city, with bios on hover.
- Testimonials Letter: A customer's thank-you letter on lined paper with a serif body, a P.S. and a self-drawing signature.
- FAQ Grid: Questions laid out in a grid with a contact card, for short answers.
- Footer Minimal: One quiet row: brand, a few links and the year.
How it is built
Roadmap votes and patron tiers are props. 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.
