Astro web development for sites that stay fast as they grow.

We design and build Astro websites that ship almost no JavaScript by default, with a headless CMS your editors can use.

Why Astro

Fast by default.

Most websites get slower with every feature added. Astro turns that around: pages render to plain HTML, and JavaScript loads only for the parts that need it, like a pricing calculator or a product demo. You keep full design freedom, the CMS of your choice and hosting on Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare.

When Astro development fits.

Astro is a developer's framework. That is its strength and its limit.

A good fit if

  • Speed and search visibility are business critical
  • Your content lives in a headless CMS, or you want it to
  • Your site needs custom interactions a site builder cannot do
  • You have developers, or a partner, to maintain the code

Not the right fit if

  • Marketers must change layouts without code. Look at Webflow.
  • You run a store with a large catalogue. Look at Shopify.
  • Your site is a logged-in web app more than a website

Astro and Webflow often work together: Webflow for campaign pages, Astro where custom code earns its place.

Astro, plus the rest.

Astro is the front end. We connect the content, data and commerce around it.

Security, by consideration.

Trust is part of the build.

For your Astro project, we consider deployment access, server endpoints, dependencies and connected services as part of one connected build.

Connected systems. Considered safeguards.

Changes you can trace.

GitHub workflows, peer review and dependency checks bring decisions into the release process.

Protected in transit.

Certificate configuration, HTTPS and secure headers help protect the path between your users and your systems.

Intelligence with limits.

Scoped tool access, validated inputs and human approval where automated actions carry consequences.

Content first. Code second.

We model your content before we design a page, so the build fits what you publish.

Astro questions, answered.

A few things worth discussing before your Astro project takes shape.

What is Astro web development?

Astro web development means building websites with Astro, an open-source framework that renders pages to static HTML and loads JavaScript only where needed. Stega uses Astro for content-led marketing sites that need speed, custom design and a headless CMS.

How much does an Astro website cost?

The final cost depends on the number of templates, the CMS integration, interactive features and whether we migrate content. Hosting is billed by your provider separately. You get a fixed quote after scoping.

Is Astro better than Next.js for a marketing website?

For most content-led marketing websites, Astro is the better fit because it ships less JavaScript and keeps pages simple. Next.js suits app-like sites with heavy client-side logic and logged-in areas. Astro can still use React components wherever you need them.

Can marketers edit an Astro website without a developer?

Marketers can edit Astro website content through a headless CMS such as Sanity, Storyblok or Contentful, changing text, images and entries freely. New layouts or components need a developer, which is why teams that rebuild pages weekly often pair Astro with Webflow.

Which headless CMS works best with Astro?

The best headless CMS for Astro depends on your editors. Sanity and Storyblok suit teams that want visual previews and flexible content, while Contentful fits larger content operations. We compare them against your workflow in discovery and set up previews either way.

Where are Astro websites hosted?

Astro websites are usually hosted on Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare, which serve pages from a global edge network. Stega sets up hosting, preview deployments and automatic rebuilds when content changes. You own the hosting account, so there is no lock-in to us.
