A fast, minimalist, and highly customizable Astro template designed specifically for researchers, professors, PhD students, and academics.

Strongly inspired by the widely loved Academic Pages and AstroPaper, this template prioritizes content readability, SEO discoverability, and effortless configuration. Showcase your academic journey, publications, and projects beautifully without ever needing to touch the UI code.

📝 Markdown-Driven Collections

Manage your entire portfolio seamlessly through standard `.md` files. No web development experience is required to keep your academic profile up to date. The theme comes with fully configured content collections for:

  • Bio & About Me
  • Blog Posts
  • Publications & Papers
  • Projects & Research
  • Talks & Presentations
  • Curriculum Vitae (CV)
  • Teaching Experience

📐 Academic Standard Support

Write your mathematical formulas and equations with confidence. The template includes out-of-the-box LaTeX rendering support securely powered by `remark-math` and `rehype-katex`.


🎨 Extensive Theming System

Tailor the look and feel to your personal brand or university colors. Features a built-in Light/Dark mode toggle, a highly customizable underlying design system, and several preset color palettes to get you started instantly.


🎛️ Toggleable Sections

Keep your site focused and relevant. Don't have any talks lined up or teaching experience to share yet? Disable entire sections globally with a single boolean flag in your configuration file. No need to delete components or worry about breaking the layout.


⚡ Peak Performance

Built for the modern web. Powered by Astro and the brand-new Tailwind CSS v4 (via `@tailwindcss/vite`), this theme ships with minimal client-side JavaScript, ensuring lightning-fast page loads and near-perfect Lighthouse performance scores.


📊 Built-in Analytics Support

Understand your audience with native, zero-hassle tracking integrations. Simply add your IDs to the config file to enable:

  • Umami Analytics: Fast, privacy-focused, and open-source tracking (`umami.websiteId`).
  • Google Analytics 4: Standard GA4 integration (`ga4Id`).


🖥️ Two-Column Architecture

An optimized, modern layout designed for both desktop and mobile reading. Features a sticky left profile sidebar for immediate access to your contact info and social links, alongside a clean, scrollable main content area.
