What Is the Relay Template?

Relay is a dark, premium marketing template by Cruip built for SaaS products, developer tools and technical startups. Its sharp typography, deep dark-mode aesthetic and product-led layouts give your software a confident presence without an in-house design team.

Relay is sold on its own or as part of Cruip's Modern Bundle.
