Clavo — Next.js 16 Creative & Design-Agency Template

Clavo is a premium, production-ready template for creative studios, design agencies, portfolios, and digital brands. Built on Next.js 16, React 19, and TypeScript, it ships with 37 pre-built pages, an MDX-powered blog, works, and services system, product pages with a working cart, and a fully editable content layer — no CMS or backend required.

It's styled with a hand-crafted CSS design system (no utility-framework lock-in) and a self-contained interaction layer. Every blog post, project, and service is a Markdown/MDX file — so you can launch a real client site in hours without touching the component code.

Tech Stack

  • Next.js 16 — App Router, server components, all 39 routes prerendered to static HTML
  • React 19 — latest features; interactivity isolated to one client component
  • TypeScript — strict mode, fully typed
  • MDX — blog, works, and services via `next-mdx-remote` (frontmatter parsed with `gray-matter`), served by `[slug]` dynamic routes
  • Hand-crafted CSS design system — colors, type scale, and spacing as CSS custom-property tokens in one `:root` block; re-theme everything in one place
  • Self-hosted fonts — Inter Tight served locally, no third-party font CDN
  • Zero backend lock-in — no CMS, no commerce backend; the cart persists in `localStorage`

Included Pages and Templates

  • Home — hero, services overview, selected works, studio intro, testimonials, blog feed, FAQ, and contact CTA
  • About — studio story, awards, team, and testimonials
  • Service — services overview (animated impact counters, services list, industries grid) plus 5 service detail pages (web, brand, product, app, marketing design)
  • Works — bespoke masonry portfolio listing plus 9 project case-study pages
  • Pricing — plan comparison with a Monthly/Project toggle
  • Blog — listing plus 6 MDX posts with a detail template
  • Products2 product pages with add-to-cart
  • Commerce — mini-cart drawer, Checkout, PayPal Checkout, Order Confirmation (UI demo, no real payment)
  • Utility — Style Guide, License, Changelog, 401 (password), 404

Easy Content Editing

No CMS needed — content lives in editable files you can change in any text editor:

  • Blog posts — `src/content/blog/*.mdx` (frontmatter + Markdown body). Add a file to publish a new post; the listing and detail page pick it up automatically.
  • Works — `src/content/works/*.mdx`, same pattern (drives the `/work/<slug>` case studies).
  • Services — `src/content/services/*.mdx`, same pattern.
  • Theme — brand colors, fonts, type scale, and spacing are CSS custom properties at the top of `public/assets/css/styles.css` — change them once to re-skin the whole site.
  • Header, footer & cart — shared components edited once in `src/components/layout/`.

Performance and SEO

  • Static-rendered pages out of the box (App Router) — all 39 routes prerendered, including every MDX post, project, and service
  • Responsive imagery via native `srcset`
  • Self-hosted fonts — no third-party CDN requests at runtime
  • Per-page titles and metadata via the Next.js Metadata API (`generateMetadata` on dynamic routes)
  • Semantic HTML structure and clean, crawlable URLs
