Custom Astro Website Development
Custom-coded websites built with Astro — static by default, very little JavaScript, and a strong technical SEO foundation for content-focused sites.
What this service solves
Astro is a modern web framework that renders pages to plain HTML ahead of time and only ships JavaScript to the parts of a page that need it. That makes it particularly useful for content-focused and performance-conscious websites: portfolios, service businesses, marketing sites and documentation.
A custom Astro site is coded rather than assembled from a page builder, so the design is not limited by a theme and the pages stay light. It suits owners who value speed and design control and are happy to request content changes, or to edit structured content files.

Astro questions
WordPress builds pages on the server each time (unless cached) and is edited in a dashboard. Astro builds pages once into static files, which are fast to serve and have fewer moving parts. WordPress is easier for frequent self-editing; Astro is better when speed and design control matter most.
Yes. Content can live in simple data or Markdown files, or be connected to a headless CMS if you want a dashboard.
Static hosts such as Cloudflare Pages, Netlify or Vercel. Many offer generous free tiers for small business sites.
