Astro looks for `.astro` or `.md` files in the `src/pages/` directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
|
||||
## 🛠️ Development Setup
|
||||
|
||||
There's nothing special about `src/components/`, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.
|
||||

||||
Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the `public/` directory.
|
||||

|
||||

### Automatic Deployments
|
||||

|
||||
2. Click "Add custom domain"
|
||||
3. Follow the instructions to configure your DNS
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎨 Customization
|
||||
|
||||
### Changing Colors
|
||||
|
||||
Edit the CSS variables in `src/layouts/BaseLayout.astro`:
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
:root {
|
||||
--color-primary: #8b0000; /* Main brand color */
|
||||
--color-secondary: #2c3e50; /* Secondary color */
|
||||
--color-accent: #c0392b; /* Accent color */
|
||||
/* ... more colors */
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding New Pages
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a new MDX file in `content/pages/`
|
||||
2. Create a corresponding `.astro` file in `src/pages/`
|

|
||||
## 🔮 Future: Adding Ticket Shop
|
||||
|
||||
When you're ready to add ticketing (planned for ~3 years):
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Third-Party Integration (Easiest)
|
||||
- Use services like Stripe, Eventbrite, or Ticketor
|
||||
- Add embedded widgets to your pages
|
||||
- No major code changes required
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: Custom Solution
|
||||
- Build custom ticketing forms
|
||||
- Integrate with Stripe for payments
|
||||
- Add customer accounts and order management
|
||||
- Requires developer assistance
|
||||
