Launchpad pairs a fast, modern stack with a friendly editing experience. Here's what you get out of the box.

Three tools, working together, so you can move fast without breaking things.
Astro — static-first, blazing fast
CloudCannon — visual, Git-based editing
Claude Code — AI-assisted building

Pages render to static HTML and ship zero JavaScript unless you ask for it. Content Collections keep your Markdown organized and type-safe.
Visual editing with CloudCannon
Give your whole team a live, visual editor. Every edit is committed to Git, so you keep a full history and never lose control of your content.
Build with Claude Code
Add new components, pages, and content blocks by describing what you want. Claude Code understands the project and writes code that fits right in.
A library of content blocks
