## What it is
A starter template demonstrating a Gatsby static site integrated with Decap CMS (formerly Netlify CMS), a Git-based headless CMS. It ships a complete example business website with blog, editable pages, Netlify deployment configuration, and Bulma styling.

## Use cases
- start a gatsby site with decap cms
- git-based cms for a static website
- jamstack blog starter with netlify deployment
- template for a small business website with editable content
- example of netlify identity auth with a headless cms
- learn how to integrate gatsby with netlify cms

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made Gatsby + Decap CMS site deployed on Netlify
- you prefer Git as the single source of truth for content
- you need a JAMstack business site with blog and contact forms
