Welcome

You just bought (or downloaded) an AeroLaunch theme. This is the manual.

Every AeroLaunch theme is a complete Astro 6 + Tailwind v4 project — pages, components, styles, brand system, and the full section library, all in your hands as source code. There’s no runtime to install, no SaaS to subscribe to, no proprietary build step. You run npm install, then npm run dev, and you have a working site you can edit, brand, and deploy.

What’s in the box

Every theme ships with the same shape, so once you know one theme, you know them all:

• src/pages/ — the actual pages of your site (home, about, blog, contact, pricing, etc.). Plain .astro files. Edit them, delete them, add more.
• src/components/ — the section library: Hero, Pricing, FAQ, Testimonials, Team, Gallery, Carousel, and ~20 more. Each is one self-contained .astro file.
• src/config/site.ts — the one file you’ll edit most. Site name, navigation, brand, SEO, analytics, contact form, newsletter, footer, team, and every section’s content live here.
• src/content/blog/ — Markdown blog posts. Add a .md file with frontmatter and it shows up on /blog/.
• src/styles/global.css — design tokens (brand color, fonts, surfaces, spacing). Change one variable, the whole theme reskins.
• README.md, LICENSE.md, CHANGELOG.md — bundled in every download.

What to read first

Quickest path to a deployed site

1. Install your theme — unzip, install dependencies, run dev.
2. site.ts reference — change site name, nav, brand, and contact info.
3. Deploy → Cloudflare Pages — push it live.

Three sittings, no detours. The rest of these docs are for when you want to go deeper.

How this manual is organized

• Get started — install, run, understand the folder layout.
• Configure — everything in src/config/. Each section of site.ts gets its own page.
• Customize — change brand, swap section content, add or remove pages, build a new section.
• Content — writing blog posts in Markdown, handling images.
• Deploy — Cloudflare Pages, Vercel, Netlify, custom domains.
• Per theme — small page per theme with its unique pages, included data, and quirks.
• Reference — full component list, license terms, changelog, support.

You bought the source. You own it.

Your license lets you build unlimited personal or commercial sites with this theme. Modify it however you want — including porting to another framework. The only thing you can’t do is resell the theme source itself. The License page has the exact wording.
