Template Details
This is an Astro-based starter theme for building multilingual websites. It includes Astro's native i18n routing, preconfigured for French, German, and English, with an extensible architecture for adding more languages. UI components come from Starwind UI, built on Tailwind CSS, and include common blocks such as cards and hero sections. The theme implements dark mode with user preference persistence (localStorage) and system preference detection. The code is written in TypeScript, with content data (team, services, portfolio) organized in a typed manner under the src/data directory, translation dictionaries in src/i18n, and pages using file-based routing. The project structure follows standard Astro layout, with directories including components, data, i18n, layouts, and pages. The repository provides AGENTS.md to explain the theme structure and conventions to AI tools. The free version is a standalone complete version; the MIT license allows use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification; the paid version and its features mentioned in the materials are not included in this listing.

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.
