Linktree & Link-in-Bio Pre-Launch Website Template

Quick summary

Setlist is a single-page artist landing page that stitches streaming links, tour dates, merch drops, and an unreleased track teaser into one immersive experience. The Obsidian and Gold color system, floating polaroid header, and hand-lettered waitlist form work together to turn a first-time visitor into a signed-up fan.

Who this template is for

This template is built for independent artists and emerging musicians who need a single destination that does more than a basic link list. It is also a strong fit for anyone releasing new music and building pre-release momentum.

• Solo artists and bands preparing a new release or tour announcement
• Musicians who want a link page that reflects their creative identity
• Booking agents, music bloggers, and fans who land here looking for proof of presence

What problem this template solves

Most artist link pages feel disposable. They list links with no atmosphere, no story, and no reason for a visitor to stay longer than three seconds. Setlist solves the problem of a forgettable first impression.

• Fans who discover you at 2 a.m. on a playlist need something that pulls them in, not a plain list of icons
• There is no built-in place to capture emails or build anticipation on a typical link-in-bio page
• Tour interest, merch awareness, and streaming discovery usually live on separate pages, splitting attention and losing momentum

What you get with this template

You get a complete single-page layout designed to immerse, inform, and convert. Every section is crafted to feel intentional, from the floating photo header down to the torn-paper waitlist card.

• A parallax floating-photo header with polaroids, lyric scraps, and a gold script artist name
• A streaming section, a tour section, a merch area, and a lo-fi unreleased track teaser with a self-sketching waveform
• A primary waitlist form and a secondary "Drop Your City" tour vote interaction

Feature list

This template includes a focused set of designed components. Each one serves a specific purpose in the artist's story.

Parallax Floating Photo Header

Polaroids, torn contact sheets, and handwritten lyric scraps drift in slow parallax against an obsidian background. They rotate gently as if suspended on invisible threads, and the artist name appears in gold script as if being written in real time. No grid, no symmetry, the layout breathes like a studio wall.

Immersive Scroll Texture System

As visitors scroll, floating photos dissolve into a full-bleed crumpled-paper texture. Sections emerge like pages torn from a notebook. The paper feels cleaner near the top and progressively more creased and worn as the page deepens, matching the emotional tone of the content.

Unreleased Track Teaser with Waveform

A fifteen-second lo-fi audio clip plays behind a waveform that draws itself in real time. This section acts as the emotional peak of the page and leads directly into the waitlist call to action, earning the signup by delivering something real first.

Waitlist Signup Form

The primary call to action reads "Be the First to Hear It" in hand-lettered gold. The form sits on a torn-paper card with pencil-stroke input fields. It asks only for a first name and email, keeping the barrier to entry as low as possible.

Tour City Vote Interaction

A secondary engagement path lets visitors tap "Drop Your City" to vote on where the artist should tour next. This builds location data while giving fans a sense of participation in the artist's decisions.

Ink-Stamped Streaming and Merch Sections

Platform icons are etched as ink stamps rather than standard logos. The tour section unfolds like a hand-drawn map with cities circled in gold. Merch drops are presented inside the same notebook-page aesthetic, keeping the visual world consistent throughout.

Page sections overview

Design & branding system

The visual identity is built on an Ink and Paper theme using an Obsidian and Gold color system. Every choice in the palette and layout is meant to feel handmade, private, and deliberate.

• Deep black (#0B0B0F) forms the dominant canvas, aged parchment (#E8DCC8) carries body text and lyric fragments, tarnished gold (#C9A84C) activates on hover states and accent lines, and smudged charcoal (#1E1D1D) marks section dividers
• Typography and decorative elements lean into hand-lettered and ink-pressed styles, referencing journal pages, vinyl liner notes, and physical ephemera
• The texture system shifts gradually as you scroll, with cleaner surfaces at the top and more worn, creased paper deeper in the page

Mobile & speed optimization

The full-width immersive layout is structured to work across screen sizes without breaking the visual experience. The atmospheric design translates to smaller viewports while keeping the page usable and legible.

• The floating photo header and parallax elements are designed as part of the single-page scroll flow, keeping navigation simple on mobile
• The torn-paper waitlist card and pencil-stroke input fields are sized for thumb-friendly interaction on touch screens
• The self-sketching waveform and lo-fi audio teaser are embedded inline, avoiding the need to navigate away from the page

How this template helps you convert

The page is built around a deliberate emotional journey. Every section earns the next one, and the waitlist form appears at the exact moment a visitor is most invested.

1. The parallax header and crumpled-paper texture create immediate atmosphere, giving a first-time visitor a reason to scroll rather than bounce
2. The fifteen-second unreleased track teaser delivers real value before asking for anything, making the "Be the First to Hear It" signup feel like a natural next step rather than an interruption
3. The "Drop Your City" tour vote gives fans who are not yet ready to sign up a low-commitment way to engage, keeping them on the page and building connection
