Why Use Richtext in a Starter Kit?

While Matrix fields offer ultimate flexibility, richtext blocks are great for speed and simplicity. This Craft CMS Starter Kit uses a hybrid approach: use Richtext where it’s enough, and Matrix where you need layout control.

Advantages of Richtext:

1. Great authoring experience
2. Fast rendering
3. Clean HTML output
4. Ideal for blog posts, legal pages, or intro texts

Semantic HTML for Better SEO

All heading levels (`<h1>` to `<h4>`) are preserved and styled via Tailwind CSS. This helps search engines better understand the page structure – which improves your SEO without extra effort.

Here’s a list just for fun:

• Fast setup with Craft CMS 5
• Built-in CKEditor 5 integration
• Datastar-powered frontend
• Tailwind + Vite + GraphQL
• Developer-friendly and production-ready

Customizing the Richtext Experience

You can define custom styles, toolbars, and plugins directly in the CKEditor config. Want to add buttons, callouts, or emojis? No problem. This starter kit gives you a clean base to extend the editing experience however you like. 🚀
