Projects Portfolio Template is an Astro portfolio starter for developers who want a responsive, customizable site to showcase their projects and experience.
What is Projects Portfolio Template?
Projects Portfolio Template is an open-source Astro 6.x project that generates a static portfolio site from content you define in a /data folder. It takes site content such as hero text, about sections, experience cards, and contact links as inputs and produces a fully optimized, deploy-ready static website as output. The template uses Tailwind CSS 4.x for styling and requires Node.js v22.12.0 or higher. It is distributed under the MIT License, so you are free to use, modify, and distribute it.

data/site.tsand JSON files inside/data, so you update one location to change the hero, about, experience cards, archive projects, and contact links. - Built-in themes — Switch between four color palettes (
default,strategic,innovator,executive) by editing a singlebaseThemevariable insrc/config.ts. - Responsive layout — The design is optimized for mobile, tablet, and desktop viewports.
