Doula — Death Midwife Service Landing Page Template

Feature list

This template is built around a specific creative and functional brief. Every feature below is drawn directly from the design and content plan for Passage.

Giant Centered Hero Headline

The hero section opens on a linen-white field with a single enormous serif headline. No image, no icon. Just a direct word or phrase that lands immediately. A single sentence of context follows, then wide white space that communicates calm rather than urgency.

Storybook Scroll Storytelling

Each section of the page functions like a spread in a book. The scroll moves through real moments: a daughter describing the night her mother was bathed at home, a widower recounting how the paperwork was handled before he had to ask. These stories do not escalate. They quietly remove one fear at a time.

Legal and Practical Clarity Section

A dedicated section addresses what actually happens during a home funeral. It explains the legal steps families can take, notes that embalming is not required, and clarifies what paperwork families need to complete. Death midwives work alongside nurses, doctors, and funeral directors rather than replacing them. This section makes that clear.

Testimonial Bento with Portrait Photography

The stories section uses a bento-style layout to present personal testimonials with names and relationship context. Photographs are warm-toned and shot in natural window light. The visual and written voices together build the trust that formal credentials alone cannot.

Lead Generation Form with Secondary Download Path

The consultation form asks for a first name, a relationship to the person who is dying via dropdown, and a preferred time of day to talk. A secondary path offers a free PDF guide in exchange for an email address. The form appears only after the page has already done its work.

Gentle Scroll Animations

Low-intensity fade-in animations trigger as each section enters the viewport. There are no kinetic distractions. The pacing mirrors the unhurried nature of the services being offered. Each section arrives quietly, the way a steady presence enters a room.

Page sections overview

Design & branding system

Passage uses a Pastoral Calm visual identity built entirely around warmth and restraint. Nothing in the palette or layout reads as clinical, funereal, or transactional. The design feels like a farmhouse kitchen where someone has already put the kettle on.

• Colors: linen white (#F5F0E8) for backgrounds, hearthstone (#A1897C) for buttons and dividing lines, dried sage (#8B9A82) for alternate section washes, and deep walnut (#3E2C23) for all body text
• Typography: Fraunces serif for all headlines to evoke the sacred and the ancient, DM Sans for body copy to keep reading easy and clear
• Backgrounds alternate between linen and a barely-there sage wash; hearthstone warms every interactive element

Mobile & speed optimization

The template is designed desktop-first with careful attention to mobile layouts. Grief does not wait for a desk, and many families will arrive on a phone in the middle of the night.

• Images use lazy loading to prioritize the hero section and keep the page feeling responsive on slower connections
• The hero section loads with priority to ensure the opening headline is always the first thing a visitor sees
• Section padding and type sizing scale naturally so the storybook feel holds across screen sizes

How this template helps you convert

Passage earns the lead before it asks for it. The form only appears after the page has guided a family through the full emotional and practical journey of what dying at home looks like.

1. The storytelling sections build trust through real voices and real moments, so families feel seen rather than sold to before they reach the form
2. The "Schedule a Conversation" call to action uses language that feels like accepting help rather than completing a transaction, lowering the anxiety around making contact
3. The secondary PDF download path offers immediate value to families who are not yet ready to talk, keeping them in the community of support the template creates
