Astro CV theme

Astro CV theme is a free and open-source resume website template built with the Astro framework that turns content managed in Forestry CMS into a static, deployable CV site. This theme is designed for developers and job seekers who want a clean online curriculum vitae without building a site from scratch, and it can be deployed to Netlify with a single click.

What is Astro CV theme?

Astro CV theme is a CV/resume theme for Astro, authored by dofbi and released under the MIT License. The template takes structured resume content — typically work experience, education, and skills — and renders it as a static website using the Astro build process. It is based on the w3.css CV template by W3Schools and ships with a live demo hosted on Netlify at astro-cv-theme.netlify.app.

• Forestry CMS integration — The GitHub repository can be imported into Forestry with a one-click button, allowing non-technical users to edit CV content visually instead of editing markup.
• Fast Netlify deployment — A one-click Deploy to Netlify button is included so the site can go live immediately; the project also has a Netlify build status badge in its README.
• Google Fonts typography — Uses Google Fonts variable fonts to set typefaces.

• w3.css foundation — The layout is adapted from the W3Schools w3.css CV template, giving it a simple, functional design.
