Here at Vehiso, we build car dealer software that helps dealers put their stock in front of the right buyers, on whatever device those buyers happen to be using.
A lot of those buyers are now scrolling for their next car late at night, on their phone, with the screen dimmed. They expect a calm, modern interface that does not glare back at them. That is the kind of buyer Oslo is built for.
Today we are introducing Oslo, our newest car dealer website template. Oslo is a scandi-minimal, dark-mode-first design that strips a dealer website back to its essentials and lets the photography do the work.
A different kind of dealer website
Most dealer websites lean on the same set of cues: white backgrounds, rounded cards, soft shadows, a pop of accent colour everywhere. We deliberately built Oslo to drop all of that. The canvas is near-black. The borders are hairline. The display type is a thin sans-serif at 200 weight with tight letter-spacing. There are no rounded corners and no card shadows anywhere in the theme.
The result is a site that gets out of its own way. Your stock looks louder against the calm, and your dealership signals confidence by trusting the photography to do the work.
Three home page layouts
Oslo ships with three different ways to set up your home page, so you can pick the one that suits your dealership best:
- Split Grid: hero text on the left, a featured image on the right, and the search form sitting in a hairline panel
- Bottom Ribbon: a full-bleed image carousel with the search form anchored as a thin ribbon along the bottom edge
- Text Statement: image-free, just a confident typographic headline, a sub-line and a single call to action
You can swap between them at any time through the website editor without rebuilding anything.
Key features
- Dark-mode by default: a near-black canvas designed for low-light browsing, which is when most evening stock searches actually happen
- Confident, restrained typography: thin sans-serif headlines with all-caps micro-labels for a calm, engineered feel
- Brand colour customisation: pick your dealership's primary colour and it drives every call-to-action across the site, without leaking into the rest of the design language
- Fully responsive: designed and tested phone-first, then tablet, then desktop
- Fast loading pages: clean markup and lean styles, which helps both your Google rankings and your Core Web Vitals
- SEO-friendly structure: proper headings, clean URLs and meta tags handled for you on every page
- No coding required: set Oslo up in a few clicks from your Vehiso dashboard
Who is Oslo for?
Oslo is a natural fit for:
- Independent EV specialists who want their website to match the modern feel of the cars they sell
- Modern boutique dealers who do not want their site to look like every other dealer site
- Performance and sports specialists where the cars are already visually loud and the website should stay out of the way
- Any dealership that prefers a clean, modern web aesthetic over traditional automotive design
You do not need to sell EVs to use Oslo. If you simply want a clean, modern, confident site that feels different from everything else on the high street, Oslo is for you.
