Free Astro + Tailwind website template for small businesses

A free, MIT-licensed Astro 7 + Tailwind 4 website for small and local businesses. Edit one config file for name, colours, WhatsApp and SEO. v1.1 is strict-CSP ready (no inline styles) and the build fails over 50 KB of JS. Deploy free on Netlify or Vercel.
Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Pankaj, a backend .NET developer from Faridabad, India.
Most small businesses around me (workshops, manufacturers, local shops) don't need a CMS. They need a fast page with their phone number, a WhatsApp button and a map, and they need it to show up on Google. So I built a template where everything lives in one file (src/data/site.ts): name, colours, contact details, page text and SEO. Edit it, push, and deploy free on Netlify or Vercel.
What's in Lite (free, MIT):
• Home, About, Contact and 404 pages, mobile-first
• Floating WhatsApp button + a contact form that opens WhatsApp pre-filled (no backend)
• Meta/OG tags, LocalBusiness JSON-LD, sitemap, robots.txt
• ~0.6 KB of JavaScript in total
New in v1.1: a dev.to commenter (thanks, Gautam K!) pointed out that the brand colours were injected inline, which breaks a strict Content-Security-Policy. Now they're served as /brand.css from an Astro endpoint, CSP headers ship for Netlify and Vercel, and npm run build fails if JS goes over 50 KB, fonts go over 150 KB, or any page has inline code.
If you need a product catalogue with per-product WhatsApp quote buttons, there's a paid Pro version. Lite is complete on its own, though.
I'd love feedback on two things: what would you add for a local business site, and is the build-budget idea useful in your own projects?
(Built with AI-assisted tooling; I reviewed and tested everything by hand.)
A small follow-up for anyone using Lite for client work: the template is free, but the hardest part for most freelancers is landing the client in the first place.
The approach I'd suggest is pitching a local business with one specific finding about their current site (e.g. "PageSpeed 31/100 on mobile, mostly 3 large photos") instead of "do you need a website?", then quoting three fixed-price options.
I've packaged that process as a separate kit: a 10-minute audit checklist, 12 pitch templates, a proposal + terms template and a break-even pricing calculator. It's pay what you want from $1, here if it's useful: https://payhip.com/b/IOH7d
Lite stays free, MIT, no strings. Happy to answer questions about either.
