Testimonials
What founders are saying
Real feedback from people who've shipped with Meridian.
"I've used a dozen landing page templates over the years. Meridian is the first one where I didn't feel like I needed to fight it. The design was already doing the right thing — I just had to add my content."
"Launched my SaaS waitlist page in about three hours. The setup is painless, the code is clean, and it looks genuinely professional. Worth every dollar just to skip the "make it not look like a template" phase."
"My clients have started asking if I have a designer on the team. It's just Meridian. The typography alone makes everything look intentional. Highly recommend for anyone shipping landing pages at scale."

How to deploy an Astro site to Vercel in under 5 minutes
Vercel and Astro are a perfect pairing. Here's the full walkthrough — from pushing to GitHub to a live URL with automatic deployments on every commit.
Why dark mode is the default choice for SaaS products in 2025
Dark themes reduce cognitive load, look premium, and are increasingly the default expectation for technical audiences. Here's the UX case for starting dark.
The landing page stack solo founders actually use
After talking to 40+ indie hackers, a clear pattern emerged: Astro for speed, Tailwind for styling, Gumroad for payments, and Vercel for hosting. Here's why.

Using WordPress as a headless CMS with Astro
Your clients already know WordPress. You want the performance of a static site. Headless WordPress + Astro gives you both. Here's the full integration guide.

FAQ
Common questions
Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out via email and we'll get back to you.
Do I need to know Astro to use this?
Not really. If you're comfortable editing HTML and CSS, you can use Meridian to build a production site. The components are clean and well-commented. That said, basic familiarity with Astro's component model (just HTML with a frontmatter block) will help you customize faster. If you're a developer who has used any component-based framework, you'll feel at home immediately.
Can I use this for client projects?
Yes — the Pro plan ($79) includes an unlimited site license that covers client work. You can build and deliver as many sites as you want for clients. The Starter plan ($49) is for personal or single-site use only. Either way, the license is lifetime and includes all future updates to the theme.
What does "lifetime updates" mean?
It means you pay once and receive all future updates to Meridian at no extra cost. When we add new sections, improve existing components, update for new Astro or Tailwind versions, or fix bugs — you get those changes automatically via Gumroad. No annual renewal, no subscription creep.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If Meridian doesn't work for your use case, email us within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund you in full. We'd rather have you succeed than keep your money on a product that wasn't the right fit.
Can I use this with a headless CMS?
Absolutely. Astro has first-class integrations with all major headless CMS platforms — Contentful, Sanity, Storyblok, Tina, Keystatic, and more. Since Meridian is just Astro components, you can pull content from any CMS into any component's frontmatter. The components are designed to receive data as props, making CMS integration straightforward.
Do you offer support?
The Starter plan includes community support via GitHub Issues — we actively monitor and respond. The Pro plan includes priority email support, meaning you get a personal response within one business day for setup questions, customization help, and bug reports. Neither plan includes done-for-you customization work, but we're happy to point you in the right direction.
Do I need prior Astro experience to use Meridian?
Not at all. If you can edit HTML, you can customize Meridian. The components are clean and clearly commented. That said, if you've used any component-based framework (React, Vue, Svelte), Astro's model will feel immediately familiar.
Is this a one-time purchase?
Yes. You pay once and own the theme forever. That includes all future updates we release — new sections, new components, compatibility updates for new Astro and Tailwind versions. No subscriptions, no renewals.
Can I see a live demo before buying?
Yes — visit meridian-theme.vercel.app to see the full theme running live. Every section, every animation, on real infrastructure. No screenshots.
What payment methods do you accept?
Meridian is sold through Gumroad, which accepts all major credit and debit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay. The purchase process takes under 30 seconds.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If Meridian doesn't work for your use case, email us within 30 days and we'll refund you in full.
What is the difference between Starter and Pro?
The Starter plan ($49) is a single-site license — one domain, personal or solo commercial use. The Pro plan ($79) is an unlimited license: build as many sites as you like for clients or your own projects. Pro also includes priority email support.
Which version of Astro does Meridian use?
Meridian is built on Astro v6 and TailwindCSS v4. We test every release against the latest stable versions of both and push compatibility updates as needed.
Does Meridian work with a headless CMS?
Yes — it works with any headless CMS: WordPress, Contentful, Sanity, Notion, or local Markdown files. The included INTEGRATIONS.md guide walks through each setup with real code examples.
Can I use Meridian with server-side rendering?
Meridian is configured for static output by default, which gives you the best performance on CDN hosts like Vercel and Netlify. You can switch to SSR mode in astro.config.mjs if you need server-rendered routes — nothing in the theme prevents it.
What support is included with my license?
Starter plan: community support via GitHub Issues. We actively monitor and respond. Pro plan: priority email support at hello@meridian-theme.com with a one business day response commitment for setup and customization questions.
Do you offer custom development or done-for-you setup?
Not as a standard service, but Pro license holders can reach us by email and we're happy to point you in the right direction. For significant custom work, we can recommend vetted Astro developers.
Where do I get updates?
Updates are delivered through Gumroad. When you purchased, Gumroad linked the product to your account. Log in to your Gumroad library at any time to download the latest version.
