What is Templix?
Templix is a modern template marketplace application designed to showcase and distribute high-quality web templates. Built with cutting-edge web technologies, Templix combines the power of static site generation with dynamic content management to deliver a fast, accessible, and beautiful user experience.
Our Technology Stack
We believe in using the best tools available to create exceptional web experiences. Here’s what powers Templix:
Core Framework
Astro - Our foundation is built on Astro, a modern static site generator that delivers lightning-fast performance through its innovative islands architecture. Astro enables us to ship minimal JavaScript while maintaining rich interactivity where needed.
Component Development
React - For interactive components and dynamic user interfaces, we leverage React’s robust ecosystem and component model, seamlessly integrated with Astro’s multi-framework approach.
Styling & Design
Tailwind CSS v4 - We use the latest version of Tailwind CSS to craft responsive, utility-first designs that are both maintainable and performant. The configuration is streamlined through Vite plugins, eliminating the need for separate config files.
DaisyUI - Our UI components are enhanced with DaisyUI, providing a comprehensive component library with built-in theme support. This ensures consistent design patterns and automatic light/dark mode adaptation throughout the application.
Content Management
Keystatic CMS - Content creators and editors can manage templates, testimonials, FAQs, and site settings through Keystatic’s intuitive visual interface. Operating in local mode, Keystatic stores all content as files in the repository, enabling version control and collaborative workflows.
Markdoc - Rich content editing is powered by Markdoc, allowing for structured, extensible content with a clean markdown-based syntax that’s both developer and editor-friendly.
