How we provide Astro development
Astro is new and fast. We provide Astro development by focusing on good user experience and search engine optimization (SEO). We achieve these by optimizing the site speed, following best practices, keeping accessibility and usability in mind, having a great mobile experience, and making sure the site can scale with more content and more visitors.
Why choose us as your Atro development company
Even though we are quite new on the Astro scene (since Astro is still so new!), we have experience in developing static Jamstack sites using Gatsby and Next.js. As Astro behaves quite close to those – with just less JavaScript being shipped – we have very similar experience to what Astro requires.

What makes Astro so great
Speed
As Astro provides fully static sites, the entire site can be served via a CDN. Not just the images, but also the CSS, JS, fonts, and HTML files.
Astro takes this even further than Gatsby and Next.js: by not relying on React like Gatsby and Next do, the site can ship with literally zero JavaScript, making the site even faster.
Security
Since with Astro a potential backend or CMS connection happens on build time, users do not interact with the backend at all. This makes the site very secure for both your company and the visitors.
A static Astro site is just HTML, CSS, and JS. It is tamper-proof, malicious visitors can't harm your site from your front-end as there is no backend or database to access.
Easy hosting options
Astro can be hosted very easily with existing static host solutions such as Netlify, Vercel, CloudFlare Pages, and AWS Amplify. No need to get complicated with a custom server!
This still doesn't mean that you can't use a custom server, you can use a custom server if you wish.
Our headless CMS picks for Astro
If you want to enable your entire team to edit your site, you most likely want to connect the site to a headless CMS platform.
We have currently worked with Contentful, Storyblok, Dato CMS, Prismic, Agility, Strapi, Directus, WordPress, and Shopify. If your choice of a CMS is not on that list, don't worry, learning a new CMS after using so many takes no effort at all — they all function the same.
Our recommendations currently are Storyblok or Contentful for regular marketing sites, Strapi or Directus if self-hosting the CMS is important for you, and Shopify for e-commerce.
FAQ about our Astro development
What fields do you provide Astro sites in?
We work with any field, but most of our clients are from medical fields, tech startups, agencies, and education.
How long does it take for you to build an Astro site?
There is no single answer, but on average our builds take 2-4 weeks.
Do you see Astro being a future-proof framework?
We see a lot of similarities with Astro and early Gatsby. We do think Astro will have a great future, and that's why we have decided to provide development for it.
If I send you a message, who will answer?
Hi, my name is Jere, I'm the one who will answer 👋! I really liked what Astro was doing, and decided to become an Astro freelancer! So far every Astro site that I have developed has scored full 100 scores on Lighthouse, which is amazing!
When can the development get started?
If we are not unusually busy, we can get started on developing your site within a couple of days after signing a contract.
What if I need a backend?
If you need backend functionalities such as user logins, real-time data or backend authentication, we recommend you have a look at our Next.js development.
We prefer Astro over Next.js for fully static sites, but Next.js takes the win if there is a need for an active backend connection within the site.
If the backend functionality that you need is not major, it can also be achieved by serverless functions.
What kind of built-in SEO functionalities does Astro have?
You can see most of them on our Astro vs. Gatsby vs. Next.js SEO comparison.
