The Astro visual website builder.
Turn any AeroLaunch theme into a point-and-click CMS. Click a section on your real site, edit it live - every headline, image, button, list and page - then download a production-ready Astro project with your content baked in. No code.
The $69 option includes one of the 11 premium themes the builder edits today. You pick it inside the builder after checkout. Builder access only works with the free Aurora theme or themes you buy separately.
Editable in the builder today - 12 themes
Before you buy: the builder only edits the themes listed above right now. The rest of the collection lands in the next couple of weeks and unlocks automatically - so make sure your theme is here (or grab one that is).
builder.aerolaunch.app
See it for real - click any section, edit live, download a runnable Astro project.
From a customer
Weeks in WordPress. An afternoon in the builder.
I was about ready to give up on building my website! I spent weeks fighting with WordPress. Every time I thought I had something looking decent, something else would break. I'd change one thing and somehow three other things would move. And the mobile version? Completely trash, haha.
At some point I just started closing my laptop because I was so frustrated. Then I found Anvil. And honestly... what the hell! In about 1.5 hours, I built more than I had managed to build in weeks with WordPress. And this time, it actually looked stylish, clean and professional, and yes - including on mobile. This was officially the last time I'm trying to build a website with WordPress.
My laptop and my mental health both thank you.

How it works
Two things to start. A theme, and builder access.
You need a theme and builder access. Get both in one go for $69: builder access plus one premium theme you pick inside the builder. Already own a theme? Builder access on its own is $39.
02
Sign in with your email
Open the builder and enter the email you used at checkout - we send you a one-time sign-in link. Bought on Gumroad in the past? That sign-in still works too. No license keys, nothing to paste.
03
Pick your theme
Bought the $69 option? Choose your premium theme in the builder. The choice is final, so look through the live demos first.
04
Edit live, download Astro
Click any section, edit it on your real site, then download a clean, runnable Astro project with your content baked in. npm install && npm run dev and it runs.
What it does
The speed of a site builder. The clean code of an Astro theme.
Every edit happens on your real site and exports to real Astro source. Point and click to build - then own the code with zero lock-in.
Live click-to-edit canvas
Your actual theme renders in the editor - not a mockup. Click any section and a panel opens with exactly its fields.
Edit everything that matters
Headlines, body copy, buttons, links, images (upload or paste a URL), icons, and lists you can add, remove, and reorder.
Manage content like a CMS
Blog posts, episodes, projects and other collections in a simple form editor - with live preview on both list and detail pages.
Pages under your control
Show, hide and reorder sections per page. Add brand-new pages, delete the ones you don't need.
Site-wide settings in one place
Brand name or logo upload, navigation, footer, social links and contact details - set once, applied everywhere.
Integrations, pre-wired
Analytics (Google, Plausible, Umami) and forms (Formspree, FormSubmit, Netlify) - configured and exported ready to go.
Download a real Astro project
Export the full theme source with your content serialized in. npm install && npm run dev and it runs.
No hosting requirement, no lock-in - it's your code, forever.
Supported themes
12 themes editable today. The rest, very soon.
The builder is live and in beta - rolling out one theme at a time.
Right now the editor fully supports the 12 themes below. The other 25 are being instrumented now - the full collection will be editable in the builder within the next couple of weeks. When a theme goes live in the editor, it unlocks automatically for everyone who owns it - no repurchase, nothing to do.

FAQ
Builder questions.
Is the visual builder live?
Yes - it's live now at builder.aerolaunch.app. It's in beta: fully usable today, with new themes and editing powers shipping every week.
Which themes can I edit right now?
Ten today - Anvil, Aperture, August, Aurora, Boost, Cirrus, Dispatch, Falcon, Slab and Studio. The rest of the collection is being added one theme at a time. When a theme goes live in the editor it unlocks automatically for everyone who owns it.
Do I need to own a theme to use the builder?
Yes. The builder edits AeroLaunch themes you already own, so you need at least one - the $39 unlock doesn't include a theme. Free themes count too. Browse themes.
How much is it, and is it a subscription?
Builder access is a one-time $39 unlock (reg. $49) - not a subscription. No monthly fee, no hosting bill, no expiry. It's included free with the $159 lifetime bundle, so bundle owners shouldn't buy it separately.
How do I sign in - are there license keys?
No keys. Enter the email you used at checkout and we send you a one-time sign-in link - your purchases appear on your dashboard automatically. Bought on Gumroad in the past? "Sign in with Gumroad" still works exactly as before.
How does it compare to CloudCannon, TinaCMS or Morrisson?
They solve different problems. CloudCannon and TinaCMS attach editing to an Astro site you already have, Morrisson edits Markdown files on your machine, and the AeroLaunch builder starts from a finished theme and hands you the whole project. Pricing, ownership and team features are laid out side by side in Astro visual editors compared.
What do I actually download?
A complete, runnable Astro project - the full theme source with your content serialized in.
npm install && npm run dev and it runs. No lock-in, no hosting requirement - it's your code. Each theme you own can be set up as two separate site projects (your own site and a client site, say), with unlimited edits and unlimited downloads on both. Live now · Beta
Build your site this afternoon.
Point, click, and edit your real Astro theme like a CMS - then download a production-ready project. One-time $39 unlock, no subscription.
