Welcome to the Astro Landing Page Example! This is a minimal, lightweight starter template built with Astro that helps you quickly create fast, content-focused landing pages.

What is Astro?

Astro is a modern web framework designed for building fast, content-focused websites. It allows you to use your favorite JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.) while shipping zero JavaScript by default, resulting in incredibly fast page loads.

Why use this template?

This landing page template is built on Astro’s minimal starter kit, providing you with:

Lightning fast

Zero JavaScript by default means your landing page loads instantly

Simple structure

Clean, minimal file structure that’s easy to understand and customize

TypeScript support

Built-in TypeScript configuration with strict type checking

Developer friendly

Hot module reloading and excellent developer experience out of the box

Project structure

The template follows Astro’s standard project structure:
/
├── public/
│   ├── favicon.ico
│   └── favicon.svg
├── src/
│   └── pages/
│       └── index.astro
├── astro.config.mjs
├── package.json
└── tsconfig.json

Key directories

  • public/ - Static assets like images, fonts, and favicons that are served as-is
  • src/pages/ - Astro pages that become routes in your site. Each .astro or .md file becomes a route based on its filename
  • src/components/ - You can add reusable Astro, React, Vue, or Svelte components here (not included in minimal template)
Astro uses file-based routing. A file at src/pages/about.astro automatically becomes available at /about.

Key features

Zero configuration

The template works out of the box with minimal configuration. The astro.config.mjs is intentionally simple:
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';

export default defineConfig({});

TypeScript by default

TypeScript support is built-in with strict type checking enabled in tsconfig.json:
{
  "extends": "astro/tsconfigs/strict",
  "include": [".astro/types.d.ts", "**/*"],
  "exclude": ["dist"]
}

Modern tooling

The template uses Astro’s latest version (5.17.1) with all the modern features you’d expect:
  • Hot module reloading during development
  • Optimized production builds
  • Built-in preview server
  • Support for all major UI frameworks
