Template Details

Astro-Theme-Creek is a blog theme for the Astro static site generator, released under the MIT license, with a demo site deployed on Netlify. The theme's design is based on the Starter's Creek theme for the Statamic CMS, with design credit to Jack McDade; some ideas and features reference another Astro theme, Ink.

In terms of features, the README lists three: search powered by Lunr.js and Mark.js, sitemap generation, and RSS feed generation. It also states that it is SEO-ready and suggests referring to the Astro SEO plugin if more SEO features are needed. The theme was previously used for the author's personal site, HowToCode.io.

The materials do not specify capabilities such as post models, categories/tags, pagination, comments, dark mode, or internationalization, nor do they provide dependency versions or build commands. Before use, refer to the repository's actual code and README.

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.

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 Astro 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.
