Astro website
development —
fast, stable and maintenance-free.
We build Astro websites that output static HTML — no server, no database, no plugins. Result: PageSpeed scores of 95–100, near-zero hosting costs and a site that lasts for years.
The fastest technology for content-rich websites
Astro is a modern framework that builds websites as pure static HTML. There is no server generating pages on the fly, no database being queried, no PHP running. Your visitors get the finished HTML directly — from a CDN that's seconds away from them.
PageSpeed 95–100
Astro outputs static HTML — no server, no database, no runtime overhead. Result: sub-second load times and PageSpeed scores that WordPress and Webflow rarely reach.
No updates, no risk
No WordPress plugins to update every month. No security vulnerabilities from outdated dependencies. An Astro site just works.
SEO built in
Meta tags, sitemap, schema markup and correct heading structure are standard in every delivery. Technical SEO is a foundation, not an afterthought.
Low hosting costs
Vercel hosts static Astro sites for free or at most €20/month. No expensive managed WordPress hosting — a one-time investment with near-zero running costs.
Global CDN
Vercel serves your Astro site from edge locations worldwide. Visitors in Amsterdam and New York both get the same lightning-fast experience — from the nearest server.
Future-proof
Astro integrates seamlessly with headless CMS platforms like Sanity, Contentful or Storyblok. Want to add a blog or product catalogue later? Easy — without the technical debt of WordPress.
Astro vs WordPress vs Webflow
Three popular choices, three very different outcomes. Here's what the technology means in practice.
| Aspect | Astro (our choice) | WordPress | Webflow |
|---|---|---|---|
| Page speed | 95–100 (static HTML) | 40–70 (PHP + plugins) | 70–85 (JS-heavy) |
| Security | No server = no attack surface | Plugins = ongoing risk | Platform-dependent |
| Monthly hosting cost | €0–€20 (Vercel) | €15–€60 (managed hosting) | €23–€212 (subscription) |
| Maintenance needed? | No | Yes — weekly updates | Limited |
| Technical SEO | Excellent (static, fast) | Weak without plugins | Good, but slower |
| Design flexibility | Fully custom | Theme-dependent | Good, but limited |
| CMS support? | Yes (headless CMS) | Yes (built-in) | Yes (limited) |

Everything about Astro websites
What is Astro and why do you use it?
Astro is a modern JavaScript framework that builds websites as static HTML — with no unnecessary JavaScript sent to the browser. That makes it extremely fast. We choose Astro because it offers the best balance of speed, flexibility and developer experience for content-rich websites like business sites, portfolios and blogs.
How fast is an Astro website?
A well-built Astro website consistently scores 95–100 on PageSpeed Insights for both mobile and desktop. This is because Astro ships virtually no JavaScript to the browser by default — the site is plain static HTML loaded instantly from a global CDN.
What's the difference between Astro and WordPress?
WordPress is a dynamic CMS that queries a database and runs PHP on every page request. That makes it slower, more vulnerable to attacks, and more expensive to maintain. Astro pre-builds everything as static HTML. No server, no database, no plugins to update. Result: faster, safer, and lower running costs.
What's the difference between Astro and Webflow?
Webflow is a solid platform, but it ships a relatively large JavaScript bundle and carries monthly subscription costs (€23–€212/month). With Astro on Vercel, hosting costs €0–€20/month and there's no platform lock-in. Your code belongs to you.
Can I manage content myself on an Astro website?
Yes. We connect your Astro site to an easy-to-use headless CMS such as Sanity or Netlify CMS. Through the CMS interface you can update texts, images and blog posts without touching a single line of code. We provide training after delivery so you can work independently from day one.
What does an Astro website cost?
The cost depends on the number of pages and complexity. We start from €750 excl. VAT for a simple business website or landing page. For larger projects with a blog, CMS integration or multiple sections you always receive a transparent quote upfront. Book a free consultation for an honest estimate.
How long does it take to build an Astro website?
The minimum turnaround is 6–8 weeks. That time is needed for solid design, development, a review round on staging, and thorough testing before go-live. Larger projects with a CMS integration or multiple pages take 8–12 weeks.
Is Astro suitable for an online shop?
For simple product pages and catalogues, Astro with a headless commerce layer (like the Shopify Storefront API) is excellent. For a full webshop with cart, checkout and inventory management, we prefer building in Shopify or a dedicated e-commerce platform. We'll advise you honestly on this.
Can my existing WordPress site be migrated to Astro?
Yes. We can audit existing WordPress sites and migrate them to an Astro setup. Content, URL structure and SEO value are carefully preserved. After the migration you no longer need WordPress — no plugins, no updates, no PHP hosting costs.
