## What it is
An accessible, WCAG 2.2 AA compliant starter theme/template for Astro 6+ with built-in accessibility features like skip links, landmarks, focus indicators, and interactive components. It ships with Tailwind CSS 4, TypeScript, Prettier, ESLint a11y rules, dark mode, and a blog/portfolio with dynamic routes.

## Use cases
- start an accessible astro website
- build a wcag compliant blog with astro
- astro starter template with dark mode and tailwind
- create an inclusive website that meets european accessibility act requirements
- bootstrap a portfolio site with accessible components
- learn accessible frontend patterns in astro

## When to choose
- starting a new Astro content site where accessibility compliance is required
- you want a preconfigured Tailwind 4 + TypeScript + MDX setup with a11y linting
- you need ready-made accessible components, skip links, and keyboard navigation out of the box

## When to avoid
- building a non-Astro project or a highly custom SPA where a starter theme is too opinionated
- you need a component library for an existing Astro site rather than a full template (use Accessible Astro Components instead)
- projects requiring a backend or CMS beyond static content collections
