Astro Rocket —
The free Astro starter theme
A lightning-fast Astro 7 starter theme to build anything on. The site you're reading right now is built on it too.
Everything a real website needs
The component library is the heart of the theme. Everything else a real website needs is already on board.
57 designed components
From buttons to hero sections: typed, accessible, consistent, and documented in a live showcase.
Pages to start from
Home, about, services, contact, blog, projects, and 404, fully designed and responsive, ready to make your own.
12 colour themes
Switch the whole site's palette live from the header. Light and dark mode included.
Blog with table of contents
MDX, RSS, tags, comments, related posts, and a scroll-spy table of contents. Write and publish.
Projects with galleries
A portfolio section with image galleries, video slides, tags, and its own table of contents.
Full i18n, opt-in
Blog, projects, navigation, forms, and 404: all localized per locale. Off by default, at zero cost when unused.
Site search
Fast static search (Pagefind) with a ⌘K modal: zero JavaScript until it's opened.
SEO toolkit
Metadata, sitemaps, structured data, and OG images, correct out of the box.
Forms & deploy
Spam-protected contact and newsletter forms, and one-switch deploys to Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare.
A perfect Lighthouse score
Built this way from the start: the live demo scores 100 across the board, on mobile and desktop.
A theme that gets better every week
Development happens in public. Users request enhancements through GitHub issues, and improvements ship within days.

Powers the site you're on right now
There's a story behind Astro Rocket: how it came together over three months, and what it says about the way I build. I wrote the whole thing down.

I'm working on a second, premium Astro theme. I'll announce what it offers when it's ready. The free theme stays free and MIT-licensed; that never changes.
