# Kotei - Astro agency theme for BCMS

## What Kotei is built for

Kotei is a paid Astro theme created by [Lexington Themes](https://lexingtonthemes.com/templates/kotei), designed for premium agencies, studios and consultancies presenting case studies, services and team profiles. It is compatible with [BCMS](https://www.thebcms.com/), allowing teams to update projects, services and client work through the CMS without redeployment.

Calm typography, generous whitespace and a real light/dark mode (not just a recolor) give Kotei the polish you would normally need a designer and two weeks for.

## Who it is for

- Design and dev studios that need a credible portfolio site without losing a quarter to building it.

- Brand and product consultancies shipping long-form case studies and services pages.

- Senior freelancers and small teams who want a serious site that scales as they grow.

- Agencies pitching enterprise clients where dark mode, accessibility and load speed are a baseline expectation.

## Highlights

- Real light and dark modes - two designed themes, not a CSS filter, with consistent typography in both.

- Case studies - long-form project pages with image galleries, client info, role and outcome blocks.

- Services - structured services pages with process, deliverables and pricing-aware sections.

- Team and culture - team grids, role pages and a journal layout for thought leadership.

- Reskin friendly - clean Tailwind tokens make it straightforward to retheme for a client engagement.

## How Kotei works with BCMS

Case studies, services, team and journal entries all live in your BCMS instance. Editors update the work without copy-deck PRs, and you can extend the BCMS templates with extra fields (industry, deliverables, results) without touching theme code.

If you are integrating BCMS for the first time, the [Astro integration docs](https://www.thebcms.com/docs/integrations/astro.md) walk through the API key setup and content modeling basics.
