Welcome to PersonaXR

2025-11-07

Welcome to the PersonaXR website! We’re excited to share that this site has just been built using modern web technologies to provide a fast, clean, and accessible experience.

Built with Astro

This site is powered by Astro, a modern static site generator that focuses on performance and developer experience. Astro allows us to build content-rich websites that ship minimal JavaScript to the browser, resulting in lightning-fast page loads.

Why Astro?

We chose Astro for several key reasons:

  • Performance-first: Astro generates static HTML by default, with optional JavaScript only where needed
  • Content-focused: Perfect for our documentation and blog posts with built-in Markdown support
  • Modern DX: Component-based architecture with support for multiple frameworks
  • SEO-friendly: Server-side rendering ensures search engines can easily index our content
  • Future-ready for WebGL: Astro’s flexible architecture will allow us to seamlessly integrate WebGL and 3D experiences as we showcase our XR technology

The Perfect Match for Our Needs

As an XR company, we needed a website solution that could handle both our immediate and future requirements:

Markdown Blog Support: We wanted an easy way to share news, updates, and insights without complex content management systems. Astro’s native Markdown support means we can write posts as simple .md files while maintaining full control over the presentation.

Netlify Hosting: Deploying on Netlify gives us instant deployment, automatic SSL, and global CDN distribution. Astro’s static output is a perfect match for Netlify’s edge network, ensuring fast load times worldwide.

3D and WebGL Ready: While our current site focuses on content, we’re planning to integrate WebGL-powered 3D demonstrations and interactive XR previews. Astro’s component-based architecture means we can add Three.js, Babylon.js, or custom WebGL experiences whenever we’re ready, without rebuilding the entire site. The framework won’t get in our way when we want to showcase immersive experiences directly in the browser.

Key Features

Our site includes:

  • Dark mode support: A thoughtful, eye-friendly design that adapts to your preferences
  • Responsive design: Works seamlessly across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
  • Netlify Forms: Contact form integration for easy communication
  • Markdown blog: Easy-to-maintain blog posts written in Markdown
  • Fast deployment: Hosted on Netlify with automatic builds from our Git repository

Minimal and Maintainable

We’ve kept the architecture minimal and focused, making it easy to update content and add new features as PersonaXR grows. All blog posts can be edited directly as Markdown files in src/pages/blog/, and the component-based structure makes customization straightforward.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to develop our personalized XR experiences!
