Overview
This foundation uses Astro for static page generation and Tailwind for a small, reusable visual system.
Problem
The previous site was simple and deployable, but post data and page structure were split between static HTML, unused JSON, and hardcoded JavaScript samples.
Tools Used
- Astro
- Tailwind
- Markdown content collections
- Azure Static Web Apps compatible static output
Implementation Notes
The active pages are built from reusable layout and card components. Content lives in Markdown files with validated frontmatter.
Result
The site now has a publishing shape for Notes, Workshop, About, and Design Lab pages.
Next Step
Add real posts and replace temporary hero imagery with final Rutlandia art.
Status
Foundation pass.
