NovaJAM is an open-source, Jamstack-based landing page template built with Next.js 15, designed for developers to quickly create modern, performant marketing sites. It takes a JSON configuration file as input and outputs a fully styled landing page with Tailwind CSS and TypeScript.
What is NovaJAM?
NovaJAM is a developer-focused landing page template that runs on Next.js 15 with the App Router and Server Actions. It provides a clean foundation for SaaS startup landing pages, with a composable layout system built from reusable section blocks. The open-source version relies on static JSON files for content, while NovaJAM Pro adds CMS integration with Contentful and Directus. The repository is maintained on GitHub under the minhwpm account and is licensed under MIT.
