Basics

Everything every BaseLayer theme shares. Read these once and they apply to any theme you buy.

  1. 01Getting startedDownload your theme, install it, run it locally, then build it for production.
  2. 02Quick changesStep-by-step recipes for the edits most people make first, including colors, fonts, corners, navigation, footer, favicon, and social image.
  3. 03Theme structureHow a BaseLayer theme's folders fit together, and the handful of ideas that make it easy to change.
  4. 04ConfigurationWhere every setting lives. Five small files in src/config/ control the copy, navigation, SEO, and forms.
  5. 05StylingChange colors, fonts, and type in one file. Every theme is styled with design tokens on Tailwind CSS v4.
  6. 06Content & blogWrite blog posts in Markdown, edit the legal pages, and add content collections when a theme needs them.
  7. 07ImagesAdd photos that are resized and converted to modern formats at build time, and know what belongs in public/.
  8. 08FormsConnect the contact form to Formspree, FormSubmit, Netlify Forms, or your own Cloudflare function, embed a hosted form instead, and change the labels.
  9. 09SEO & AEOMeta tags, structured data, sitemaps, RSS, and llms.txt are built in. Here's what's included and what to fill in.
