All site-wide data and theme options are stored in src/data/site-config.ts. It provides a single configuration object used throughout the theme for navigation, branding, hero content, social links, and more.
You can update this file to customize:
- Site identity — title, description, avatar, subtitle, and default social share image
- Navigation — header and footer navigation links
- Social links — URLs for supported platforms
- Hero section — title, text, image, and action buttons
- Newsletter subscription — form settings suitable for Mailchimp, Formspree, ConvertKit, or other form-based providers. The form supports a custom action URL, configurable email and hidden fields, and an optional honeypot field for spam protection.
- Pagination — posts per page for blog and projects listings
Images can be referenced either as imports from src/assets/ (for optimized Astro images) or as string paths from the public/ directory.
The theme uses a CustomImage component that automatically displays images using Astro’s optimized <Image /> or a standard <img> tag depending on the source.
- Content collection images (used in posts or pages) must be stored in
src/assets/since they use Astro’simage()schema. - Site-config images (like the avatar, hero image, or social preview) can either be imported from
src/assets/for optimization or referenced directly frompublic/if you prefer not to optimize them.

Astro looks for .astro or .md files in the src/pages/ directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
There's nothing special about src/components/, but that's where we like to put any Astro (.astro) components.
The src/content/ directory contains "collections" of related Markdown and MDX documents. Use getCollection() to retrieve posts from src/content/blog/, and type-check your frontmatter using an optional schema. See Astro's Content Collections docs to learn more.
Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public/ directory.
