Overview
A poster-bold block theme for product launches, waitlists, beta programs and coming-soon pages.
Firstlight turns a launch into a poster. Every section is one dramatic screen: huge extended display type (Syne) over sunrise photography with grain, a round "Coming soon" sticker, the launch countdown front and center and a waitlist with a live count. Chrome stays out of the way: a slim header with a Menu button that opens a full-screen poster menu, and a sign-off footer.
Built on the Symelo landing foundation and the Symelo Theme Kit, so it needs no plugins:
- Launch countdown, waitlist form and live waitlist count (set the date and the starting count under Appearance → Product details).
- Heroes: countdown poster, sneak peek with a blurred screenshot, a video loop, a three-line manifesto, launch week day cards and the latest release.
- Launch sections: ticker band, "What's coming" with "Coming soon" badges, launch week, a founder's letter, waitlist proof with testimonials, numbers, press mentions, pricing with a monthly/yearly switch, FAQ and the final countdown.
- Press kit (Masonry gallery with a lightbox and download links), a screen carousel, video sections.
- Forms with a Messages inbox in wp-admin: waitlist, launch notes, beta application, press and contact.
- Features, integrations (chips and instant search) and a changelog with their own designed pages.
- Templates: blog, single post, page, archive, search, a "Too early." 404, Landing page, Launch one-pager with section links and a Coming soon page without the menu.
- Light "sunrise" and dark "dusk" schemes with a switch, and four style variations: Dusk, Mono, Electric and Rose.
- Motion that respects reduced-motion settings, fonts bundled with the theme, no requests to other sites.
Questions
Where do waitlist and form messages go?
Every form stores its messages under Messages in wp-admin. To get them by email too, open Messages → Settings, turn on email and enter the recipients. The waitlist forms in the patterns don't send email by default; select a form in the editor to change that and to set its own recipient.
How do I set the launch date and the waitlist count?
Appearance → Product details: "Launch date" drives every countdown, the header date and the stickers; "Waitlist starting count" is added to the number of people who joined through the waitlist forms. Secure Custom Fields is needed to edit these fields; the theme offers to install it.
Can posts have a featured video?
Yes. In the post's sidebar, add a YouTube, Vimeo or video file URL under Featured video. It replaces the featured image on the post page.
Can I turn off the animations?
Visitors who ask their system for reduced motion get none. To remove an animation for everyone, select the block and clear it in the Motion panel.
How does dark mode work?
The sun/moon button in the header switches between the sunrise and dusk palettes and remembers the choice; without a choice the visitor's system setting is used. The Dusk style variation is dark all the time.
