Velidion — website

Marketing site for velidion.com. Static Astro site — fast, SEO-friendly, deploys anywhere for free.

Current state: a single company landing page (pre-product) whose job is to (a) position the company and (b) convert visitors into discovery conversations and an email list. Matches the 90-day roadmap in company-hq (strategy/working-assumptions.md).

Quick start

npm install
npm run dev      # local dev server at http://localhost:4321
npm run build    # static output to ./dist
npm run preview  # preview the production build locally

Requires Node 18+ (built and tested on Node 22).

Before you go live — three placeholders to fill

All three live at the top of src/pages/index.astro:

CALENDAR_URL — your booking link (e.g. a free Cal.com or Calendly). Powers the “Book a conversation” button.
CONTACT_EMAIL — the inbox for replies (e.g. hello@velidion.com; set this up wherever your domain email lives).
EMAIL_FORM_ACTION — the endpoint the email-capture form POSTs to. Sign up for a free form/newsletter service — Formspree, Buttondown, ConvertKit, or Tally — and paste its form action URL. Until you do, the form renders but shows a setup note instead of submitting.

Nothing else is required — the copy and design are complete.

Structure

website/
├─ src/
│  ├─ pages/index.astro      ← the landing page (all copy + sections here)
│  ├─ layouts/Layout.astro   ← <head>, meta/SEO/OpenGraph, fonts
│  └─ styles/global.css      ← brand system (colors, type, components)
├─ public/favicon.svg        ← the mark
├─ astro.config.mjs          ← site URL
└─ package.json

The design palette intentionally matches the market-study charts in company-hq (steel blue #2f6f8f, ink #1a2b3c) so the brand is consistent across everything.

Deploy — GitHub Pages (free with your GitHub Pro plan)

This repo is already wired for GitHub Pages:

.github/workflows/deploy.yml builds the site with the official withastro/action and publishes it on every push to main.
public/CNAME pins the custom domain (velidion.com) so it survives every deploy.

The one-time setup (GitHub settings + DNS at Namecheap) is documented step by step in GO-LIVE.md. Follow that once; after it’s done, every git push to main redeploys the site automatically.

Notes

The three stats on the page are sourced (links in the footer) — keep that; credibility matters in a trust-driven market.
preview.html, if present, is a local single-file snapshot for eyeballing — it is git-ignored and not part of the build. The real site is generated from src/ by npm run build.
