Reviews that look like a print desk
Verdict is an Astro 7 luxury editorial affiliate theme. Warm paper, ink, and brass typography frame product verdicts like a magazine cover story — not a coupon grid. There is no CMS; you edit files.
Sample products, scores, prices, and retailers are fictional. Replace them, point every affiliateUrl at your partner links, and rewrite disclosure, privacy, and terms before you publish.
Reviews, compare, and journal
MDX reviews live in src/content/reviews/ with scoring fields defined in the content schema. Journal posts sit in src/content/posts/ and appear on /blog plus /rss.xml. Routes also cover compare, method, about, contact, and disclosure.
Site name, emails, navigation, and affiliate labels live in src/config/site.ts. The theme toggle stores preference as verdict-theme and boots with an inline script to avoid flash.
