Homepage Templates
Choose and customise your competition site's homepage from 4 professionally designed templates.
Your homepage is the first thing visitors see when they land on your competition site. Giveawayz offers four distinct templates, each designed for a different audience and selling style. All templates are fully responsive, optimised for conversions, and can be customised through the Website Editor.

Modern Luxury
Modern Luxury is built for competitions featuring premium, aspirational prizes. Its design language communicates exclusivity and sophistication, making visitors feel they are entering something special.
Key design features
- Serif typography — elegant heading fonts that convey prestige and refinement
- Gold accent colours — metallic highlights on buttons, borders, and decorative elements
- Cinematic hero section — a large, full-width hero image with overlay text and a subtle parallax effect
- Countdown timer — a prominent countdown displayed in the hero section, creating urgency around the draw date
- Dark colour palette — deep backgrounds that make prize imagery stand out
Best suited for
- Luxury watches, jewellery, and designer goods
- High-value vehicle competitions
- Premium holiday and experience prizes
- Any competition where the prize value exceeds £1,000
Photography matters
Modern Luxury relies heavily on visual impact. Use high-quality, professionally lit product photography for the best results. The AI Thumbnail Designer's Luxury or Elegant presets pair perfectly with this template.
Vibrant Energy
Vibrant Energy is designed to drive urgency and excitement. Every element is engineered to keep visitors engaged and push them towards purchasing tickets quickly.
Key design features
- Bold gradient backgrounds — eye-catching colour transitions that create visual energy
- Urgency badges — dynamic labels such as "Selling Fast", "Limited Tickets", and "Ending Soon" displayed on competition cards
- Progress bars — visual indicators showing how many tickets have been sold out of the total, leveraging scarcity psychology
- Confetti effects — celebratory animations triggered on key interactions (e.g., adding to cart, completing a purchase)
- High-contrast CTAs — large, vibrant call-to-action buttons designed to stand out
Best suited for
- High-volume, low-ticket-price competitions
- Flash sales and time-limited giveaways
- Competitions targeting younger, mobile-first audiences
- Any campaign where urgency and social proof drive sales
Maximise urgency
Combine Vibrant Energy with ticket bundles and a short competition duration (7-14 days) for maximum urgency. The progress bars and urgency badges work best when tickets are selling steadily.
Trust & Impact
Trust & Impact is purpose-built for charity raffles, community fundraisers, and cause-driven competitions. Its design prioritises transparency, credibility, and emotional connection.
Key design features
- Centred layout — a clean, symmetrical design that feels open and trustworthy
- Impact metrics — prominently displayed statistics showing funds raised, people helped, or goals reached
- Testimonial sections — dedicated areas for supporter quotes, charity endorsements, and winner stories
- Trust indicators — badges and icons highlighting charitable registration, provably fair draws, and secure payments
- Warm colour palette — approachable, friendly tones that build emotional connection
Best suited for
- Registered charity raffles
- Community fundraising campaigns
- Cause-driven prize competitions
- Organisations where trust and transparency are paramount
Charity compliance
If you are running a charity raffle, ensure you comply with the relevant Gambling Commission regulations. See our Compliance & Legal guide for details on charity raffle requirements.
Growth Engine
Growth Engine is a conversion-optimised template designed for professional brands and businesses running competitions as a marketing channel. Every element is data-driven and designed to maximise sign-ups and ticket sales.
Key design features
- Clean, professional layout — minimal design that lets your brand identity take centre stage
- Stats grid — a prominent section displaying key metrics (competitions run, winners drawn, total entries) as social proof
- Social proof ticker — a scrolling or rotating feed showing recent purchases and entries, building momentum
- Conversion-optimised structure — strategic placement of CTAs, benefit sections, and competition cards based on proven landing page patterns
- Neutral colour base — works seamlessly with any brand colour palette applied through the Website Editor
Best suited for
- Brands using competitions for lead generation
- Business marketing campaigns
- Multi-competition operators
- Professional organisations wanting a clean, corporate feel
Pair with referrals
Growth Engine's social proof elements work exceptionally well with the referral system (available on Pro and above). When visitors see a ticker of recent entries, they are more likely to enter themselves.
