Cutwave is a premium festival

Cutwave is a premium festival & event website theme built with Astro 6. It ships as a static frontend — no CMS or payment provider locked in — so agencies and freelancers can brand it, connect their own stack, and deploy anywhere.

The visual language is a high-energy collage / scrapbook system: rotated cutouts, sticker CTAs, expressive display type, cream card sections, and intentional home-page motion (GSAP + Lenis).

Who it’s for

Festival, rave, conference, and cultural-event organizers

Agencies building one-off event microsites for clients

Freelancers who need a distinctive Astro starter that isn’t another SaaS landing page
