Opus Vela Web

LiveFounder and Web Product Engineer

The public home of Opus Vela Studio, Voice and the supporting browser tools: one place to see the flagship creative workspace, private Windows dictation, account-backed plans and the utilities people can use immediately.

Outcome

One responsive Next.js and Cloudflare surface now carries the full product journey — Studio as the flagship, Voice as the focused dictation application, Complete as the shared licence, eighteen free browser tools, account sign-in, Stripe checkout, billing history, trial status and device management.

Live product web

  • The current Opus Vela homepage. Studio leads the company story: one editable workspace for recording, editing, design, review and bounded human-and-agent work, shown with the real product rather than an illustration.
  • The Studio product page uses current application media to explain the editable project model, the local developer-preview boundary and what is available now.
  • Voice has its own focused path for people who want private dictation in any Windows application, while remaining visibly part of the same Opus Vela product system.

Commerce and accounts

  • The live pricing surface defaults to monthly and also offers annual or perpetual access. Studio, Voice and Complete continue through account sign-in to Stripe Checkout.

Free browser tools

  • The free-tool catalogue supports the flagship workflow with eighteen focused utilities. They run in the browser with no account, upload, watermark or deliberate quality penalty.

Trust and security

  • Security and privacy are product surfaces, not footer claims: the public site documents reporting, local-processing boundaries and the controls around accounts and billing.

Case study

The problem

A family of products needs one reliable front door, and a roadmap is the fastest way to ruin one — it lets a site sound far more finished than the software behind it. Opus Vela Web is built against that temptation. A visitor should be able to understand the family, see what is usable today, pick the right path and reach a real next action, without ever mistaking something planned for something launched.

Architecture

The Public Web is a responsive Next.js App Router application deployed through OpenNext to a Cloudflare Worker. Clerk carries identity, a separate billing Worker owns Stripe checkout and webhook projection, and device authorisation issues revocable credentials without giving the website access to local creative work.

What the family actually is

Opus Vela is not one app with a marketing site wrapped around it. It is a growing family of software for creating, editing and finishing digital work, and every piece of it holds to the same standard: local-first where that matters, human-governed by default, and honest about what a machine did. Voice is private system-wide dictation for Windows. Studio is the workspace where recording, editing and design live inside one project that a person and an agent can both drive. The free browser tools each finish one small job outright, on your own machine, without asking for an account. Growth is the governed marketing-operations platform that runs behind the family itself. A Customer Workspace and a Developer Platform sit further back in the programme again. Holding all of that under one idea — and carrying on holding it as the lineup grows — is the web's actual job.

One coordinated web programme

The public site, authenticated account surface and billing service remain separate responsibilities. The site explains and supports the products; the account carries plan, trial, invoices and owned devices; Stripe handles payment; the local applications keep creative files and dictated content on the user's device. The free browser tools stay outside that account requirement entirely.

Where it is now

Live. The public surface covers Studio, Voice, release status, eighteen free browser tools, writing, philosophy, pricing, trust, privacy, security, support and about. Studio, Voice and Complete plans are available through account-backed Stripe checkout, with trial, invoice and owned-device information represented in the account experience. Voice is downloadable early access; Studio remains a build-from-source developer preview with no public installer. Hosted projects, production cloud rendering, API keys, metering and webhooks remain outside the current claim.

Scope and boundaries

The Public Web is live with Studio, Voice and Complete pricing, account sign-in, Stripe checkout, a cardless 14-day product trial, billing history and owned-device controls. Eighteen no-account browser tools are published. Studio still has no public consumer installer, and hosted projects, production cloud rendering, API keys, metering and webhooks are not claimed.
