About this vibe coding template
A word-by-word fade-up hero animation that combines a staggered headline reveal with a subtitle that appears after the last word settles, creating a two-beat branded moment on a clean white background. The headline arrives first to make the brand statement, then the subtitle fades in to provide context, which is the same sequencing used by premium AI and SaaS product pages. Paste into Bolt, Claude Code, Replit, or Lovable and ask the AI to update the headline words and subtitle text with your product's tagline.
Common questions about this template
What is the difference between this section and the simpler word-reveal?
This section adds a subtitle that fades in after the headline words complete, creating a two-beat structure: brand statement first, value proposition second. The simpler word-reveal shows the headline alone, which is better for a section break. This version is better as a primary hero where you need both a tagline and a supporting sentence.
What AI products use a headline plus subtitle animation like this?
This two-beat structure appears on landing pages for AI coding assistants, AI SaaS platforms, and developer tools. Linear, Vercel, and Bolt all use variations of this pattern where the headline animates first and supporting copy arrives slightly after.
Can I use this animation on a dark background?
Yes. Ask Bolt, Claude Code, or Replit to change the background to dark and update the text colors to white and light grey. Tell the AI what background color or gradient you want and it will update the section while keeping the staggered animation timing intact.
How do I update the headline and subtitle copy?
Ask your vibe coding tool to update the headline words and subtitle text. Tell the AI what phrase you want the headline to reveal and what the subtitle sentence should say, and it will update both while preserving the animation.
