Quick summary
Wick is a single-page, anchor-nav landing page template designed for a candle making online course. It blends editorial photography, warm Atelier Studio aesthetics, and a clear click-through structure to move visitors from first impression to enrollment. The layout flows from philosophy to proof, with every section built to build conviction before the final call to action.
Who this template is for
This template is made for independent instructors and course creators who teach hands-on creative crafts. It suits makers who already have an audience and want a page that reflects the quality of their work.
Candle making instructors launching or relaunching an online course
Creative educators in craft niches such as pottery, baking, or textile arts who are expanding into a new product-based curriculum
Independent makers who sell at markets and want to grow a digital education offering alongside their physical products
What problem this template solves
Most course landing pages feel generic, a logo, a headline, a price, and a button. That approach fails creative audiences who need to feel the value before they commit. Wick solves the trust gap with storytelling, visual proof, and a structured narrative that moves from philosophy to curriculum to transformation.
Visitors leave before reaching the call to action because the page gives them no reason to stay
Creative buyers need to feel the instructor's voice and see real student results before enrolling
A flat layout cannot communicate the depth of a craft course that covers wax chemistry, fragrance blending, wick selection, and brand packaging
What you get with this template
You get a complete, ready-to-customize single-page layout with six content sections and a sticky anchor navigation system. Every section has a defined role in the buyer journey, from opening emotion to final enrollment click.
A full-bleed hero with a fade-in serif headline, anchor nav, and a primary "Start Making" call-to-action button
A visual curriculum map section, a free sample lesson video embed, three student transformation story blocks, and a boutique product photography finale

Feature list
Full-Bleed Hero with Fade-In Headline
The hero opens with an overhead pour photograph that fills the entire viewport. After a brief pause, the hand-set serif headline fades in using a GSAP ScrollTrigger sequence. The primary call-to-action button appears alongside the headline, styled in deep honeycomb amber.
Sticky Anchor Navigation
A hub-and-spoke anchor nav sits below the hero and stays fixed as visitors scroll. It links to five named spokes: Curriculum, Techniques, Community, and Your First Collection. The sticky "Start Making" button lives inside the nav bar, keeping enrollment always one tap away.
Vision and Mission Instructor Letter
The scroll begins with a personal letter from the instructor. This section explains the WHY behind the course in a warm, editorial tone. It sets the philosophy before the page moves into proof and curriculum detail.
Visual Curriculum Map
The curriculum section uses an asymmetric bento-style layout to display the full course structure. Visitors can see the progression from wax chemistry and fragrance blending through to wick selection and brand packaging. The visual format makes the course value immediately legible.
Sample Lesson Video Embed
A free sample lesson video is embedded mid-scroll inside the Techniques section. This gives undecided visitors a direct experience of the instructor's teaching style. Close-up technique photography surrounds the embed for additional context.
Student Transformation Stories
The Community section features three student stories showing each person's first pour alongside their twentieth. Paired before-and-after candle photography and student quote testimonials provide social proof grounded in real outcomes.

Design & branding system
The template uses an Atelier Studio visual identity built around the Cloud Canvas color system. The palette feels handmade and editorial, warm enough to evoke craft without sacrificing clarity. Typography pairs Instrument Serif for headlines and italic accents with DM Sans for body text.
Colors: warm linen white (#F5F0EB) for backgrounds, soft graphite (#3D3A38) for body text, muted blush (#D4AFA1) on section dividers and hover states, and deep honeycomb amber (#C48B3F) reserved for buttons and key accents
Typography: Instrument Serif headlines carry a hand-set editorial quality; DM Sans body text keeps reading comfortable and clean across all section lengths
Visual rhythm alternates between intimate close-up photography and generous whitespace, giving the layout a magazine-feature feel throughout
Mobile & speed optimization
The template is built desktop-first with a photography-heavy layout that demands generous viewport width for its full impact. Mobile layouts are fully supported, with responsive stacking that preserves the editorial feel on smaller screens.
Lazy image loading is applied to photography-heavy sections so the page remains responsive as large assets load
Server components handle static sections, reducing unnecessary rendering work for content that does not change on interaction
GSAP ScrollTrigger animations, parallax photo layers, and stagger reveals are all configured to degrade gracefully on lower-powered devices
How this template helps you convert
Wick is designed as a click-through page with one destination: the enrollment or checkout page. Every structural decision serves that goal, and conviction is built in layers rather than pushed early.
The free sample lesson video embed gives undecided visitors a direct taste of the course before they encounter any pricing or commitment, lowering resistance at the most important scroll depth.
Three student transformation stories with before-and-after photography provide the kind of social proof that abstract testimonials cannot match, showing real skill progression from a first pour to a twentieth.
The sticky anchor nav keeps the "Start Making" button visible at all times, so the moment a visitor decides they are ready, the path to enrollment is never more than one tap away.
