Products / Astro starter

Free, on request

A content site that is ready on day one

An Astro starter with five content collections, an answer-first article layout, data cards, a generated llms.txt, an honest sitemap, twelve Cursor rules and the sixteen gates wired in.

In plain words

A ready-made website you copy and fill with your own business: guides, area pages, comparisons, project cards and news, with the search and AI-visibility work already done inside. You change one settings file with your names and places, delete the example pages, add yours. It is free.

Who it is for

What you actually do

  1. Copy the project to your computer
  2. Fill one settings file: your company, market, currency, contact
  3. Delete the demo pages, add your own, put the site online

Why I share this

I sell property to international buyers. It is a niche where a single advertising lead costs more than most products on this page, and where the buyer reads for weeks before writing to anyone. For years the enquiries came from paid ads. Then I built content sites that answer the questions those buyers ask, and the enquiries started arriving on their own: from Google first, then, more and more, from ChatGPT and Perplexity, which quote the pages when someone asks.

The numbers are on the cases page, site by site: clicks from Google up 249 percent across thirteen sites in more than ten countries, the first 28 days of June against the 28 days to 25 September 2026, and a new site that went from 3 clicks in its first 28 days to 98. Every tool on this page is a piece of the pipeline behind those sites, stripped of my data and packaged so you can run it in your own niche: the method for finding what a market actually searches for, the page shapes that get quoted, and the checks that stop a bad page from going live.

I am not a software company. I am an operator who got tired of paying for every lead, and these are the tools I use every week. If they work for you the way they work for me, tell me; if they do not, the refund policy says exactly what comes back and when.

Frequently asked questions

Which Astro version?
Astro 7 with the MDX and sitemap integrations, Tailwind 4 for utilities, and two variable fonts. Node 20 or newer.
Can I add a collection?
Three registrations: the schema, the config entry, and a pair of routes copied from an existing collection. The sitemap, llms.txt and the gates follow the config.
Does it include the gates?
The gates run through npx from the npm package; the starter ships the config, the templates and the rules that make pages pass them.
What is the difference from Site Kit?
Site Kit adds the page generator, the niche discovery module, indexing runbooks and support. The starter is the free foundation both share.
