Why HTML Templates Are a Perfect Astro Match

Astro's architecture is built around HTML-first content. Its .astro component format is essentially enhanced HTML — paste any template markup directly into an Astro file and it ships as static HTML with zero runtime JavaScript by default.

Zero JS Default

Island Architecture

Astro ships zero JS by default. HTML templates become fully static pages — fastest possible load times.

Content Collections

Blog & Docs Ready

Pair blog templates with Astro Content Collections for type-safe, auto-routed markdown-powered pages.

View Transitions

Smooth Navigation

Add Astro's built-in View Transitions API to any HTML template for silky page animations without writing animation code.

SSG + SSR

Deploy Anywhere

Build static with SSG or enable SSR per-route. HTML templates work identically in both modes.

How to Use an HTML Template in Astro

Create an Astro Component

Create src/components/Hero.astro. The file is split into a frontmatter block (---) and HTML template below.

Paste the HTML Template

Copy the HTML body content into the template section. Move <style> tags to the bottom — Astro scopes them automatically.

Pass Props via Frontmatter

Define props in the frontmatter: const {'{ title, subtitle }'} = Astro.props. Use in template with {'{title}'}.

Use in Pages

Import into any src/pages/*.astro file. Astro handles routing, SSG, and asset optimization automatically.
