Blackspike Astro Landing Page is a free, dark-themed landing page template for the Astro framework, built with Tailwind CSS 4 and released by blackspike design to help developers launch marketing pages quickly.
What is Blackspike Astro Landing Page?
Blackspike Astro Landing Page is a free, open-source landing page template that runs on the Astro static site generator and uses Tailwind CSS 4 for styling. It takes a fresh Astro project and outputs a complete single-page landing site with a hero carousel, pricing section, and dark-mode design. The template was created by blackspike design, a web design and development team specializing in Astro, Vue, Nuxt, and WordPress, and is available as an official theme on the Astro themes page with a live demo at astro-theme.blackspike.com.
Key Features
- Astro 6 features — Uses Astro's Image component to generate optimized AVIF images, all-JSX native components, SVGs imported as components, and the released Fonts API.
- Tailwind CSS 4 — Styling built on the latest Tailwind version, including container queries, linear easing and bouncing/springing animations, and text-wrap pretty/balance utilities.
- JSON-powered content — All UI text is stored in JSON files, making it easy to edit content centrally or integrate a headless CMS later.
- JS-free interactions — Scroll-linked animations, exclusive accordions built with details/summary (animated), and an HTML modal dialog work without JavaScript.
- Swiper.js carousel — The hero section uses Swiper.js to display slides with 3D backgrounds.
- Free and open license — Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International, so you can use and modify it freely with attribution.
- Official Astro theme listing — Downloadable from the Astro themes page as an official community theme.

FAQ
Is Blackspike Astro Landing Page free to use?
Yes, it is completely free. The theme is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License, which allows commercial and personal use with attribution.
What Astro version does the theme require?
The theme highlights Astro 6 features, including the now-released Fonts API, the Image component, and SVG import as components. For the full experience, use Astro 6 or a version that supports those features.
How do I edit the text on the page?
All UI text lives in JSON files, so you can update headings, descriptions, and button labels without touching component code. This also makes it easy to hook the page up to a headless CMS in the future.
Does the template use any JavaScript libraries?
The only JavaScript dependency is Swiper.js, which powers the hero carousel. Scroll-linked animations, accordions, and the modal dialog are implemented with HTML and CSS alone, using elements like details/summary and dialog.
How do I run the project locally?
Clone or download the theme, run npm install, then npm run dev to start a local development server at localhost:4321. Use npm run build for a production build and npm run preview to test it locally before deploying.
