Hey HN,

I built this template to help non-technical startup founders and hobbyists launch a landing page for their idea quickly.

It's low-tech, free to host, includes a setup guide and takes c. 2 hours to setup.

I got the idea after sinking a whole day into setting up a generic landing page for a previous project of mine using a no code website builder (slow I know, but it was my first time).

I've made it flexible so an individuals logo, mission statement etc can be included, but it's probably not suitable for founders who have a product, as I think it's necessary at that stage to spend the time / money on a more custom website.

It's completely free, both to use and implement by guiding users to host their site on GitHub pages (100% client side).

Free tier services utilised: - GitHub (Hosting) - EmailOctopus (Mailing list) - Calendly (Meeting scheduling) - Canva (Logo creation)

Thanks everyone and look forward to hearing your feedback!
