Astara

Astara is a multi-purpose Astro template by aPLS Web Development that bundles five niche industry landing-page themes, 22+ modular components and 11+ inner pages into one TypeScript-strict, Tailwind-styled repository.

What is Astara?

Astara is an Astro template that ships a theme hub plus several niche landing pages in a single codebase, so one install produces a multi-demo marketing site instead of a single-purpose starter. Your input is content plus brand tokens (the Tailwind color palette and the logo files in src/components/layout); the output is a static site written to ./dist/ by npm run build. It runs on the Astro core engine with React islands hydrating interactive components, is styled with Tailwind CSS, and is 100% TypeScript strict. The template is created by aPLS Web Development and published under the MIT License.

What makes Astara stand out?

• One repository, five niche themes — the dev server at localhost:4321 opens a theme hub linking specialized landing pages for Agency, SaaS, eCommerce, Health, Restaurant, and Aerospace, all built from shared components.
• Astro core engine — zero JavaScript by default, with hydration applied only to islands, aimed at perfect Lighthouse scores.
• React islands — interactive components hydrate individually rather than turning every page into a client-side application.
• Tailwind CSS — responsive utility classes and design tokens, with global styles in src/styles/global.css.
• 22+ modular components — documented headers, footers, bento grids, and hero sections.
• 11+ inner pages — pre-built layouts for Blog, FAQ, Pricing, Contact, Privacy, and Terms.
• TypeScript strict — a fully type-safe codebase throughout.
• MIT License — reuse and modification permitted under the stated license.

Who is it for?

• Agencies and studios that need several client-facing landing demos (agency, SaaS, eCommerce, health, restaurant, aerospace) out of one maintained codebase.
• SaaS and eCommerce marketers shipping a marketing site where Pricing, FAQ, Blog, Contact, and legal pages already exist as layouts.
• Astro developers who want a typed Astro plus Tailwind starting point with React islands rather than an empty starter.

What can you do with Astara?

• Agencies: clone the repository, swap the Tailwind palette and the logos in src/components/layout, and deploy one niche landing page per client vertical.
• SaaS and eCommerce teams: reuse the Pricing, FAQ, and Blog layouts to publish a marketing site, adding a React island only where interactive components are needed.
• Hospitality, health, and aerospace brands: start from the matching industry landing page instead of composing hero and bento-grid sections from scratch.

How does Astara work?

1. git clone https://github.com/aplswd-themes/astara.git and cd astara
2. npm install
3. npm run dev serves the theme hub at localhost:4321
4. npm run build writes the production site to ./dist/; npm run preview checks the build locally

FAQ

What is Astara built with?

Astara uses the Astro core engine for zero-JS-by-default pages, React islands for interactive components, Tailwind CSS for styling and design tokens, and TypeScript in strict mode across the codebase. Global styles and Tailwind configuration live in src/styles/global.css.

Which pages come pre-built in Astara?

The template includes 11+ inner page layouts covering Blog, FAQ, Pricing, Contact, Privacy, and Terms, alongside niche landing pages for Agency, SaaS, eCommerce, Health, Restaurant, and Aerospace. Content still has to be replaced with your own copy.

How do I change Astara's branding?

Two edits do most of the work: adjust the Tailwind color palette in src/styles/global.css, then swap the logo files referenced in src/components/layout component files. Because the theme pages share the same components, one palette change re-themes the whole theme hub.

Is Astara free to use?

The repository is published under the MIT License, which permits reuse and modification, and the source is available on GitHub at aplswd-themes/astara. The page markets the template as "premium" but states no paid tier or price.
