Our story
Started before Astro 1.0 shipped, shaped by every Astro release since, and by the people who kept sending pull requests.
AstroWind starts on Astro 1.0 beta with a handful of pages, a few widgets and one idea: a website can be fast, simple and good-looking at the same time.
By December it is the most starred theme in the Astro ecosystem, a place it would hold year after year. The first pull requests from strangers arrive, and they keep coming.
Astro grows fast and the template grows with it: collections for content, better images, page transitions. The blog matures, the widgets double, the road to 1.0 begins, and more people than ever send pull requests.
Astro 4, and a year of small, careful improvements, most of them sent in by contributors: accessibility, tooling, ways to edit and ways to deploy. Three thousand stars by September.
Astro 5 and regular updates. Fewer commits, nothing broken, and the stars kept coming: five thousand by October.
Two framework majors in one year. The template gets a new generation of widgets, complete landing pages, a blog that finally reads like documentation, and a guide so coding assistants know their way around.
Four years after the first commit, the demo has no placeholders left: every page, every landing page and every post is real, and the template is ready for whatever comes next.
The blog is used to display AstroWind documentation. Each new article will be an important step that you will need to know to be an expert in creating a website using Astro v7 + Tailwind CSS v4. Astro is a very interesting technology. Thanks.

FAQs
The questions people ask before they clone the repository, answered briefly. For step-by-step tasks, the repository ships skills your AI coding assistant can follow.
A free, open-source template for Astro and Tailwind CSS: a static site with a header, footer, twenty-plus reusable widgets, a Markdown/MDX blog, dark mode, RTL support, image optimisation, SEO metadata and an RSS feed, ready to be customised and deployed anywhere static files are served.
A current Node.js (the exact minimum is in package.json) and a terminal. Run npm create astro@latest -- --template arthelokyo/astrowind, then npm run dev. Site name, URL, metadata and blog options live in src/config.yaml; colours and fonts in src/components/CustomStyles.astro.
Yes. Set apps.blog.isEnabled: false in src/config.yaml and the blog routes, the RSS feed and the post widgets disappear from the build. The rest of the template is unaffected.
Colours are CSS variables in src/components/CustomStyles.astro (light and dark), fonts are configured in astro.config.ts through Astro’s Fonts API, and the logo is src/components/Logo.astro. The same variables also feed the shadcn/ui-compatible tokens, so shadcn-style components pick up your theme.
It is built for it. The repository includes AGENTS.md with the project conventions and a .agents/skills/ folder with step-by-step guides for common tasks (disable the blog, set an Open Graph image, deploy under a base path, connect a CMS, deploy to Cloudflare…), so tools like Claude Code, Codex or Cursor can do them reliably.
Anywhere that serves static files: Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, GitHub Pages, an nginx container (a Dockerfile is included) or your own server. The template is MIT licensed and free for personal and commercial projects.
Free, open source and production-ready.
Clone it, replace the content and deploy.
