Astro websites,
engineered to last.
What it is.
A marketing or content website built on Astro. Pages are rendered as static HTML at build time. Interactive components only load where they are actually needed. The result is a site that loads quickly, ranks well, and stays cheap to host.
You get a clean codebase, a clear content model, and full ownership of the deployment. No proprietary builders, no platform lock in, and no licence fees for the privilege of editing your own copy.
What it includes.
- 01 Astro core build A fresh Astro project shaped to your content model, with islands only where they earn their place.
- 02 MDX content layer Long-form pages and posts authored in MDX so editors get structure without fighting a CMS.
- 03 Performance budget A Lighthouse target agreed up front and held throughout the build.
- 04 Schema and metadata Structured data, Open Graph, sitemaps, and clean canonical URLs done properly.
- 05 Deployment pipeline Continuous deployment on a static host with previews on every branch.
- 06 Hosting handover Your domain, your accounts, your site. We do not hold the keys.
- 07 Ongoing partner option A retained slot for content, components, and quarterly performance reviews if you want it.
For teams ready to leave bloated platforms.
Most business websites do not need a single-page app. They need fast pages, sensible structure, and a way for the team to keep content current. Astro hits that brief without dragging a runtime into every visit.

Questions, answered.
- Why Astro and not WordPress or Webflow?
- Astro ships static HTML and almost no JavaScript by default. The site is faster, more secure, and cheaper to host. You also keep full control of the code.
- Can Astro handle dynamic content?
- Yes. Astro supports server rendering, API integrations, and interactive islands where they are needed. Blogs, forms, and dashboards are all fine.
- Will my existing content come across?
- Yes. We migrate pages, posts, and media from your current platform and clean them up on the way through.
- Who hosts the finished site?
- You do. We deploy to your account on Netlify, Vercel, or Cloudflare and hand over full ownership at launch.
- Can my team edit content after launch?
- Yes. Content lives in MDX or a small CMS of your choice. We set the editing workflow up with you.
- How long does a build take?
- Three to four weeks for a focused pilot. Six to ten for a full marketing site.
