Astro.jsTailwind CSSKeystatic CMS

Description

My barber recently took the leap into private practice, and without much of a web presence to her name, the timing lined up perfectly with my work in web development. I offered to build her something pro bono, and teamed up with a friend from college to make it happen. It was a great experience, and has us thinking seriously about starting an LLC and doing freelance work together, though I'm equally curious to see what it's like working in the industry full-time.

Technical

StackAstro.js, Tailwind CSS, and Keystatic CMS.

Astro.js was a natural fit for a mostly static site, it's modular and offers better SEO out of the box compared to a React SPA.

Tailwind CSS can make markup harder to scan inline, but it's really great for collaborative work by enforcing a consistent naming convention (still a big SCSS fan, though).

Keystatic CMS rounds things out by giving the user a clean admin interface to edit the images and text on the page any time. Authentication is performed via GitHub OAuth.
