How to edit the GAX Pro about page. Covers frontmatter, body content, SEO fields, and common edits.

About Page Setup: content/about.md

What the About Page Is

The about page is a standalone static page at /about/. It is defined by one file:


content/about.md

Unlike controller pages, the about page does not use a collection. It uses layout: page and renders the frontmatter and body directly.

Frontmatter Structure


---
layout: page
title: "About GAX Pro - Premium Go Static Site Themes"
description: "GAX Pro builds premium SEO-ready themes for Go static sites, plus custom website and SEO services."
image: "/images/go-ssg9.webp"
canonical: "https://gaxpro.axcora.com/about/"
---
  • layout: page - uses the generic page layout
  • title - shown as the page heading and in the browser tab
  • description - shown below the title and used for SEO
  • image - shown as a hero image at the top (optional)
  • canonical - the canonical URL for SEO

To remove the hero image, delete the image field. The page renders without it.

Body Content

Below the frontmatter, the body is standard Markdown:


## About GAX Pro

GAX Pro builds premium themes for Go static sites - themes that ship with
clean markup, sensible SEO defaults, and a content structure that works out
of the box.

### What We Offer

- **Premium themes** - pre-built layouts for SaaS sites, documentation
  portals, portfolios, and blogs.
- **Custom builds** - if a template does not fit, we build a custom website
  with SEO setup.

The body supports headings, lists, links, images, and code blocks. Everything below the --- separator renders as HTML.

Sections That Usually Appear

Most about pages have the same structure:

1. Short introduction - what the company or person does

2. What we offer - a list of products or services

3. How we work - the process or philosophy

4. Get in touch - links to contact, services, or purchase pages

This is a guideline, not a requirement. The about page can be as long or short as needed.

Linking to Other Pages

Internal links use absolute paths:


- **[Buy Premium Theme on Gumroad](https://creativitaz.gumroad.com/l/gaxpro)**
- **[Browse the theme catalog](https://www.hockeycomputindo.com/)**
- **[Contact us](/contact/)**

External links start with https://. Internal links start with /. Both open in the same tab by default.

SEO Fields

The about page has three SEO fields:

  • title - shown in the browser tab and used as the page title tag
  • description - used as the meta description tag
  • canonical - used as the canonical link tag

The title should be under 60 characters. The description should be around 150-160 characters. Both appear in search results.

Editing Tips

Keep the frontmatter minimal - only edit fields that need to change. The rest can stay as they are.

Preview locally before deploying - run ./gax and open /about/ in the browser.

Test links - click each link in the body to make sure it goes to the correct page.

Do not use Markdown inside YAML - the title and description fields are plain text. Markdown syntax does not render there.

Common Errors

Page shows 404 - the file is not in content/about.md, or the filename is misspelled.

Title does not update - the page has a title in frontmatter that overrides the config title. Check both.

Image does not appear - the image path is wrong. Images live in public/images/, so the frontmatter path should be /images/filename.webp.

Build fails - YAML syntax error in frontmatter. Check indentation and quotes.

Example: Minimal About Page

If you want a simple about page without a hero image:


---
layout: page
title: "About"
description: "About this site."
canonical: "https://gaxpro.axcora.com/about/"
---
