About the Glass Dolphin template
Glass Dolphin flips vaporwave's gender expression with translucent pink tones and cyan accents—conjuring iridescent figurines, luxury packaging, and that specific 90s-nostalgia magic of childhood collections. Aimed at indie fashion, small-batch cosmetics, and nostalgia-driven Gen-Z brands, its pastel intensity feels both retro and urgent. The warm-on-cool color tension creates visual movement that static layouts alone cannot achieve. Qubed's real-time analytics help you catch trend cycles as early adopters discover you.
What the demo shows
The live demo on this page launches Knickwave, a made-up product we wrote to show the template with realistic copy: the headline reads “Kitsch deserves a proper home” and the subhead says “A marketplace for 80s and 90s trinkets, from glass animals to snow globes, with every collection photographed in soft daylight.” Below it you see the signup form, a demo launch countdown and the share-to-climb referral panel exactly as a visitor would. Try the form: in the demo nothing is stored. When you use Glass Dolphin, you replace Knickwave with your own product name, headline, subhead and logo; the palette and motion come with it and every colour stays editable.
Design details
Glass Dolphin is a light template: a pale pink background (#fce7f3), near-black pink type (#1a0510) and a vivid cyan accent (#22d3ee) on the join button, the countdown and the referral highlights. Body text sits at a 16.6:1 contrast ratio against the background, comfortably past the WCAG AAA threshold. Behind the copy the page animates with an iridescent sheen that shifts hue, clearly visible; visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get a still frame instead. Structurally it uses the Glass layout, shared with 82 other templates, but the palette, the motion and the demo copy are Glass Dolphin's own.

How it compares
Within Vaporwave, Glass Dolphin stands out for its vivid cyan accent on a pale pink ground. If it is not quite right, Wet Road flips to a dark near-black canvas with a vivid pink accent and falling rain streaks (“Reflective neon, slow drive”). Mood Drive flips to a dark near-black pink canvas with a light pink accent and rolling waves (“Coastal night, pink drift”). Midnight Pool flips to a dark deep sky blue canvas with a vivid cyan accent and underwater light caustics (“Pool water, deep tile”). All of them share the same signup, referral and analytics features, so switching later only changes the look.
