BRUTUS takes its inspiration from brutalist (editorial) design: restrained grids, oversized typography, issue based CMS, strong contrast and very little decoration.
The result is bold and direct, while the underlying system remains clear and minimal. It gives the content a distinct identity without adding unnecessary visual complexity.
Startfrom 2.0 is live. It's our template library: finished websites designed at Apollo Studio, available as a Framer project, an Astro theme or a Next.js app.
Each template page shows what you get and runs the live demo in the page. Some templates are free.
Keeping content separate from layout would make the Astro and Next.js versions easier to customise. Do they share a content schema, or does each template have its own setup?
