Get Started
Quick Start Guide
So you're in. Good choice. This guide gets you from purchase to a running site as fast as possible — no overthinking, no unnecessary steps. Whether you grabbed a single template or went all-in with Lifetime Access, you'll be live in minutes.
Pick Your Template
Head over to the collection, browse around, and check the live demos. What you see is what you get — every template is production-ready, not just a pretty screenshot. Need it for one project? Grab a single theme. Building multiple sites or running an agency? Lifetime Access gives you everything — all current templates, all future ones, full GitHub integration. One purchase, unlimited builds.
Grab Your Files
Once you've purchased, everything lives in your Polar.sh library. Fork it straight to GitHub or download the ZIP — your call. If you bought through Lemon Squeezy before, the legacy dashboard still has everything waiting for you.
Quick Check Before You Start
Honestly, you probably have everything already. You need Node.js v18+, VS Code with the Astro extension (trust me on this one), and a terminal. That's it. If you've shipped anything with Node before, you're already good to go.
Install & Run
Fork the repo to your GitHub first — this way, when updates ship, you just pull them in. No re-downloading, no copy-pasting changes. Then clone, run npm install, and you're live on localhost in under a minute. Or just grab the ZIP if you want to move fast on a one-time project.
Fork or Download from GitHub
Go to the repo, hit the Fork button, pick your account, then clone your fork. Done. When updates drop, add the upstream remote once and you can pull changes anytime — your customizations stay untouched. Prefer not dealing with Git? Download the ZIP and extract. Both work.
How Everything is Laid Out
Open the project and you'll know exactly where everything is — no treasure hunt required. Pages in src/pages/, components in components/, layouts in layouts/. The structure is intentional. You can hand this off to a client or a junior dev and they'll find their way around without asking you anything.
Go Live
Connect your GitHub repo to Vercel or Netlify, set the build command to npm run build and publish directory to dist/ — and that's it. Auto-deploys on every push, free SSL, custom domain. Your client sees a polished live site and has no idea how fast you shipped it.
You're Live — Now Make It Yours
That's the setup done. The hard part is already behind you. Now dig into the components, wire up your integrations, tweak the Tailwind config, and make it feel like your own. And if you hit a wall, just email us — we actually reply.
Keep Building
You've already skipped the hardest part — the setup. Now go build something real. Explore the docs for components, integrations, and Tailwind customization. Or just start editing and figure it out. Either way, you're moving faster than if you started from scratch.
