Editable Astro demo

Client editing without page-builder drift.

Northstar Studio is a fictional but complete Astro site: clients edit visible content, while developers keep layout, components, and performance in code.

Text headings and copy Media images, video, files Git publish and undo

Selected work

A portfolio the client can keep current.

Every image, title, and caption below is editable in place. Swap a project photo, fix a headline, or update a link without touching layout or code.

Showreel

Video that the editor can replace, not just admire.

The reel below is a real video file. In the CMS you can change its source and poster image, or upload a replacement, the same way you would swap any media.

Featured project

Launch in four weeks, maintain for the next four years.

The CMS fits into an existing Astro site. Developers keep the structure, clients get safe content work, and the source stays the source of truth.

Stage first

Save only changes the preview. Publish writes source through Git and gives editors a visible handoff to deployment.

Undo included

Versions turns an undo into a new commit. No force-push, no lost history, no hidden rollback state.

Full content workflow

Rich text, media, and embeds in the same workflow.

The demo shows the content work clients actually request: copy, links, media, downloads, embeds, and small corrections without free-form layout manipulation.

Text with nested markup can be edited as a safe rich-text block.

Good client editing feels like the real website, not a field graveyard or a second design tool.

Downloads

Documents clients can keep up to date.

Link text and file targets are editable. Replace a PDF, rename a download, or point it somewhere new, all from the page.

Safety examples

These examples intentionally stay outside the editor because their source is created at runtime.
