Angie

Angie is a paid, brutalist-inspired portfolio theme built on the Astro static-site framework and Tailwind CSS, aimed at designers and developers who want a fast, standout personal site.

Features ✨

• Bold neo-brutalist layout with oversized typography and high-contrast blocks that draw attention to your work.

• Responsive by default thanks to Tailwind’s utility classes, making it look great on mobile and desktop.

• GSAP page-load animations for subtle motion that feels snappy without heavy JavaScript.

• Blog ready – a second page template lets you ship case-studies or thought pieces alongside the portfolio.

• Minimal bundle size delivered by Astro’s partial hydration, keeping Core Web Vitals in the green.

Included Components 📒

• Home hero with headline, service badges and social/skill icons.

• About / bio section and skills grid (Figma, Webflow, Sketch, etc.).

• Portfolio gallery cards + modal lightbox.

• Blog index & post layout.

• “Hire Me” CTA footer with Stripe buy-link.

Pros ✅

• Lighthouse-friendly performance straight out of the box.

• Clean Tailwind and Astro structure — easy to remix for new color schemes or pages.

• GSAP already wired, so adding scroll or hover animations is copy-paste easy.

• Future-proof: Astro’s active ecosystem keeps adding integrations.

Cons ⚠️

• Paid license (no free tier).

• Only two pages shipped (Home & Blog); extra pages require manual build-out.

• Brutalist aesthetic may feel too daring for corporate audiences.

• Heavy animation libraries could be overkill for ultra-minimalists.

Integration

• Astro v5 static-site core with island hydration.

• Tailwind CSS utility styling.

• GSAP for motion effects.

• Remix Icon SVG set pre-installed.

• Works on any Jamstack host (the demo is on Netlify).
