Charcoal UI

Pilot: App beta template

Recruit your first beta testers.

For app betas and early access: a live phone hero, feature tabs, a three-step beta signup, FAQs and a quiet footer.

About the Pilot template

Pilot recruits beta testers. A phone hero, four features to give feedback on, a three-step invite wizard and beta FAQs about data and rewards.

Recruit your first beta testers. It is a complete app beta landing page for React and Tailwind CSS 4, assembled from 6 Charcoal UI sections.

Who Pilot is for

  • App betas.
  • TestFlight recruitment.
  • Early-access programmes.
  • Fintech and consumer pilots.

What is inside

6 sections, top to bottom:

  • Navbar Floating: A glass pill that hides on scroll down, with a gliding hover highlight and a mobile sheet.
  • Hero App: Mobile app hero: a phone with live UI, floating notification cards and store buttons.
  • Features Vertical Tabs: Vertical feature list that advances on its own, with a progress bar and a crossfading photo.
  • CTA Steps: Sign-up CTA as a three-step mini wizard, so visitors arrive half onboarded.
  • FAQ Split: Heading and contact link on the left, a springy accordion on the right.
  • Footer Minimal: One quiet row: brand, a few links and the year.

How it is built

The wizard's last step asks which device testers use. 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.
