Nova

Nova is a free, one-page portfolio website template for creative agencies, design studios, and modern portfolio brands, built with Tailwind CSS and Astro.

What is Nova?

Nova is a free HTML/CSS website template distributed by ThemeWagon and created by the WebScale author account. It produces a multipage portfolio site from a set of reusable components, and runs on Astro with React components and Tailwind CSS utility styling, so the build output is a static site generated by Astro. The template ships as a downloadable ZIP containing the source files, demo images, and its libraries, and the page reports 1,822 downloads at version v1.0.0.

Key Features

• Tailwind CSS v4.3.2 — utility-first styling across every section, so brand colors and spacing change through class edits rather than stylesheet rewrites.
• Astro v7.3.5 with React v19.2.5 components — component-based pages rendered through Astro's build pipeline, with React used for interactive pieces.
• Section library — hero header, portfolio grid, services, team, FAQ accordions, testimonials, and a detailed footer, assembled into a one-page scrolling layout.
• Multipage design with a 404 page — the package includes 4+ prebuilt pages plus a custom error page.
• Multilingual design — the markup is structured to carry more than one language variant of the content.
• Navigation details — a collapsible burger menu, sticky navigation bar, smooth scrolling, and a back-to-top button.
• SEO and performance claims — a mobile-first, fully responsive, cross-browser-compatible layout with page-speed-optimized structure, verified by the vendor against Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera, Android, iPhone, and iPad.
• On-hover effects and call-to-action buttons — animation touches applied to cards, images, and links.

Who is it for?

• Creative agencies and design studios: publish a one-page presence that presents projects, services, and team members together on a single scroll.
• Freelance designers building a portfolio brand: use the portfolio and testimonial sections to showcase work and client quotes without writing layout CSS from scratch.
• Front-end developers wanting an Astro starting point: start from a working Tailwind v4 and React 19 setup rather than an empty project.

What can you do with Nova?

• Studios launching a site quickly: duplicate the prebuilt pages, swap demo images for real project shots, and edit Tailwind classes to match brand colors.
• Agencies listing services and FAQs: populate the services section and the accordion-based FAQ to answer client questions on the same page.
• Multilingual brands: use the multilingual structure to serve more than one language from the same template.
