Astro Baseline

Astro Baseline is an intentionally boring, HTML-first starter for production-ready Astro sites.

It focuses on:

predictable structure
explicit configuration
zero framework runtime
clean separation of concerns

This is not a design system or UI kit.

It is a foundation.

What’s included

Semantic HTML layout
SEO component (meta, Open Graph, Twitter)
JSON-LD support
Canonical URLs via SITE_URL
Accessible skip link
Header / footer wired to a single site config
Minimal CSS architecture (tokens, reset, globals)
No JS by default

What’s not included

No Tailwind
No UI components
No JS framework runtime
No styling opinions beyond structure

Who is this for?

Developers who:

care about long-term maintainability
want full control over HTML and CSS
prefer boring solutions that scale
use Astro as an HTML compiler, not an app framework

Astro Baseline is meant to be extended — not replaced.
