Documentation
Last update: September 22, 2026
Everything you need to go from git clone to a deployed production website, as written guides for every step. Video walkthroughs are filming now. The docs grow ahead of launch, and founding members get each new guide first.
Two products, one base
Amrify Starter is free. It is a small monorepo: two demo sites, five shared packages, Astro 7 and Tailwind CSS 4, and no JavaScript framework at all. A site is one site.json, a folder of markdown, and six design switches. It ships with nine guides, and the public repo opens at launch.
Amrify Pro is the paid boilerplate, built on the Starter. It adds ten trade templates, the lead engine, service-area pages, the conversion widgets, optional customer accounts, the fleet tooling and four Claude Code skills. It ships with sixteen guides, listed below. One purchase, unlimited sites, lifetime updates, one seat per person.
What is in the box
- Framework: Astro 7 static output, Tailwind CSS 4, TypeScript with typed content schemas. In Pro, SolidJS powers the widgets as islands; the rest of the page has no framework runtime.
- Structure: pnpm workspaces and Turborepo. Every route, component, widget and style lives in shared packages; each site is a folder with a config file, content and a theme.
- Templates: roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, cleaning, pressure washing, pest control, garage door and painting at launch. More niches ship to owners as free updates.
- SEO and AI search: meta tags, sitemap, canonicals, generated social cards for every page, Schema.org structured data,
llms.txtandllms-full.txt, and a robots file that welcomes the AI crawlers by name. - Local SEO engine (Pro): service-area and service-in-city pages, a Census-based city scaffolder, a build gate that fails an area page under the word floor, and a content audit that flags AI-tell vocabulary and near-duplicate pages.
- Lead engine (Pro): a serverless form API on your own AWS account. Every lead is stored, then sent by email, Telegram, SMS or webhook, with spam defenses in front and photo uploads allowed.
- Performance: static HTML, images converted and sized at build time, and a CI gate that fails any build scoring under 100 on a Lighthouse category.
- Deploy: Netlify, Vercel and Cloudflare Pages configs in the box, plus
pnpm deploy:awsfor S3 and CloudFront, the setup our own fleet runs on.
Quickstart: the 60-minute build
This is the path the launch video follows. Each step has its own guide in the repo.
- Get the code. Accept the private-repo invite from your account dashboard, then
git cloneandpnpm install. You need Node 22.12 or newer and pnpm 10. - Make your site.
pnpm new-site acme-roofing --from roofing --url https://acmeroofing.comcopies the trade template into a new site folder and rewires its URL. Flags exist for the business name, phone, email, city and state. - Configure.
site.jsonholds the business: name, phone, hours, service area, colors and the design switches.astro.config.mjsholds your domain and font. Edit them by hand, or move to step 4. - Hand it to your AI editor. Open the project in Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot or Windsurf and give it the business in one message.
CLAUDE.mdandAGENTS.mdtell the editor which files to touch and in what order; in Pro, thenew-site,amrify-content,amrify-seoandamrify-launchskills do the scaffolding, the writing, the audit and the go-live checks. Review the diff like a pull request, especially the words. - Verify.
pnpm test, then build,check,verifyandaudit:contentfor the site. Anything invalid fails with a readable message instead of shipping. - Deploy. Send the static output to Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare Pages at no cost, or run
pnpm deploy:aws. The site is live on a hosted URL inside the hour; point your domain at it when DNS is ready.
The guides that ship with Pro
Getting started, Catalog (every design switch, block and widget, rendered live with pnpm catalog), Quickstart, Configuration (every site.json field with defaults), Content (every collection and page kind), Design (the nine switches, fonts, light and dark), Widgets, Local SEO, Leads (how a form post becomes a lead, spam defenses, exporting and deleting), Accounts (the four account pages and Cognito), Deploy, Demos, Customizing, Skills, Launch checklist, and Troubleshooting (the build errors you will actually hit). The Starter ships the nine that apply to it.
The AI workflow
Amrify is built for AI-assisted development, not merely tolerant of it. The instruction files ship in the repo, so the editor reads the conventions and guardrails before touching anything. Typed schemas mean a wrong field or a missing value is caught at build time. Content is markdown and config is JSON, so every change is reviewable in a diff: no database, no admin panel, no hidden state. The bundled rules also forbid the things that get sites penalized, such as invented reviews and thin area pages, and the audit script enforces them.
Deploy guides
- Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages (free): connect the repo, set the build command, done. The included configs add security headers and long-lived caching for hashed assets.
- AWS (Pro, production-grade):
pnpm deploy:aws <site>builds, syncs to S3 with the right cache policy per file type, and invalidates CloudFront. The lead API is a separate small stack you deploy once and share across sites. A typical site costs a few dollars a month. - Anything that serves files: the output is plain HTML, CSS and JS.
Roadmap
Owners get every update free: more trade and niche templates (professional services and digital business are the next waves), more widgets, more guides and the video series. Follow the changelog for what shipped, or join the founding list for launch access at the founding price.
