Template Details

Tailcast is a website template listed by ThemeWagon, with its repository on GitHub (themewagon/tailcast). Its tech stack is Astro, its styling layer uses Tailwind CSS, and the overall design is dark-themed. The README describes it as a "Dark-themed website template built on Astro and Tailwind CSS" and provides an online demo page.

Based on the preview screenshots, the template includes desktop and mobile homepages, as well as a representative inner page (the about page), indicating that it is not limited to a single-page homepage but also includes an accessible inner page structure. The repository materials do not list a specific page inventory, component directory, or configurable options, so the number of pages and module details should be based on the actual code in the repository.

Regarding licensing, the repository includes the standard MIT license text, which permits free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of this version of the code, provided that the copyright notice and license notice are retained when distributing. The licensing of third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons must be verified separately, and external services such as domains and hosting may also incur costs.
