Template Details
Lombardi Starter is a Gatsby-based website starter positioned as an official website for football teams. The repository README states that it provides a blog structure out of the box, including pagination and navigation between posts; the contact form is powered by Formspree and requires a Formspree-generated ID to be entered in lombardi.config.js before submissions can actually be sent. Content management is integrated through Netlify CMS, covering the blog as well as organizational pages such as About Us, Roster, and Schedule, with preconfigured widgets for recent matches, standings, menu, hero, and social profiles.
To use it, clone the repository, install dependencies, and run the development server; locally you can access the site, the GraphQL endpoint, and the Netlify CMS admin. The repository provides documentation in English and Portuguese (pt-br), along with contribution guidelines and a code of conduct. The code is MIT licensed and may be used, modified, used commercially, and distributed for free, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification; quotas and fees for external services such as Formspree, domains, and hosting are also not included in the code license.

License & source material
Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version under the MIT license in the public repository; the free scope applies to that version's code and does not mean external services or third-party assets are free.
Must comply with when using
- You may use, modify, use commercially, and distribute this version's code for free.
- When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
- The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.
Additional costs & items to verify
- The README mentions the Formspree form service; actual submissions require configuring the service endpoint, and its usage quotas and fees must be verified separately.
- Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked against their respective licenses and cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT license.
- External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur separate charges.
- The contact form depends on the third-party service Formspree; you must first register on the Formspree website and generate a form ID, then enter it in lombardi.config.js before submissions can actually be sent; the quotas and fees of this external service are not included in the code license.
- Content management depends on Netlify CMS, an external service/tool; using its admin and related hosting capabilities may involve a Netlify account and terms of service.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.
What to verify for this project

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.
The catalog identifies Gatsby as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
