Ship the landing page
before the product.
Atelier is an Apple-inspired light theme with a changelog post type, launch-day conversion hero, and Stripe checkout. Everything a one-person SaaS needs to survive its own Product Hunt day.
One-person SaaS, one stack
Pre-launch waitlist, launch-day hero, post-launch changelog, revenue — without stitching Carrd, Substack, Framer, and ConvertKit together with Zapier.
Launch-day conversion hero, already proven
Atelier ships with a launch-day hero template modelled on the pages that hit number one on Product Hunt — above-the-fold value prop, a social-proof bar with testimonial avatars, and a primary CTA that converts without a dozen trust badges. Swap the copy, push the deploy, open the rum.
Changelog post type with auto-RSS + IndexNow
Every micro-SaaS needs a changelog and nobody wants to maintain one. The changelog post type ships with versioned entries, badge categories, an auto-generated RSS feed for ActivityPub crossposters, and an IndexNow ping so Bing and Yandex see the update within minutes of publish.
AI copy assist in the editor
A one-person team writes copy the same week it writes code. The editor's AI assist uses your own Gemini API key to rewrite headlines, expand bullet points into body paragraphs, and generate SEO meta without sending a single word to a VeloCMS server. Your API, your prompts, your budget.
Stripe checkout for one-time purchases and subscriptions
Sell a $49 lifetime licence, a $9 monthly plan, or both. VeloCMS uses your Stripe account directly, so refunds, disputes, and tax handling live in one dashboard you already check. Checkout supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, and every regional method Stripe ships out of the box.
Waitlist capture with double opt-in
Paste the waitlist block into your hero, collect emails into the members database, optionally require a double-opt-in confirm email, then export the list as CSV the minute you are ready to launch. No Mailchimp tax for storing a pre-launch list that has not hit a thousand addresses yet.
Sub-1s LCP, measured not marketed
Every indie launch page on Notion, Carrd, or Framer ships a 3 MB JavaScript bundle that tanks the LCP metric and the Lighthouse score with it. VeloCMS budget: 150 KB gzipped. The landing pages on velocms.org itself hit 0.8s LCP at the 75th percentile, not in a lab.
