Editors waiting on developers?

A fast Astro front end is half a website. The other half is how content gets onto it.

What's included

Structured for editors.

We model content around the pages your team publishes, then wire the CMS so the preview matches the live site.

Model the content

Content types, fields and reusable blocks designed around your pages and campaigns, with validation rules that stop broken pages before publish.

Build preview workflows

Draft previews on the real Astro layout, shareable with reviewers, so nobody approves content from a form view.

Integrate publishing

Webhooks that trigger a rebuild or fresh server render on publish, plus scheduled publishing and roles for writers, editors and approvers.

Train your editors

A short editor guide and a recorded session on content types, previews and publishing, written for the people who use the CMS daily.

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.

Model. Wire. Publish.

The content model is agreed with your editors, not only your developers.

Astro CMS questions.

A few things worth discussing before your Astro CMS integration takes shape.

Should we choose Sanity or Storyblok for an Astro site?

Choose Sanity for an Astro site when your content is highly structured and you want custom editing screens. Choose Storyblok when editors want to build pages visually from blocks. Both give Astro live previews. Contentful and Payload are worth a look for larger or self-hosted setups.

Can editors preview drafts on an Astro site?

Editors can preview drafts on an Astro site through a preview deployment that renders unpublished content from the CMS. Visual editing is possible with Sanity and Storyblok. We set previews up so reviewers see the real page layout before anything goes live.

Does an Astro site need rebuilding every time content changes?

A static Astro site rebuilds when content changes, usually triggered by a CMS webhook. Astro's server rendering can instead fetch content per request, with caching, so pages update without a full build. We choose the mode based on content volume and how quickly updates must appear.

How much does Astro CMS integration cost?

Cost depends on the number of content types, preview requirements and whether we migrate existing content. CMS pricing varies widely by plan, so we compare options with you before choosing.
