Astro website development fast by default, interactive by choice.

Astro website development for content-led sites: pages ship as HTML, and JavaScript loads only for the parts people actually use.

Heavy site, light content?

Many marketing sites ship a full app framework just to show text and images.

What's included

Only ship what's used.

Astro lets us decide page by page how much JavaScript a visitor downloads. We decide carefully.

Build a component system

Astro components with typed props, design tokens and documented variants, so new pages come together from parts that already work.

Design accessible layouts

Semantic HTML, focus states, keyboard paths and colour contrast built into each component, then checked with automated and manual tests.

Add interactive islands

Calculators, configurators, filters and forms built in React, Svelte or Vue and hydrated only when they scroll into view.

Deploy with previews

Hosting on Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare with a preview URL for every change, so reviews happen on the real site.

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.

Astro development questions.

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

What are Astro islands?

Astro islands are interactive components on an otherwise static page, each hydrated on its own. An island can load on page load, when the browser is idle or when it scrolls into view. The rest of the page stays plain HTML, so one calculator does not slow the whole page.

Can we reuse our React components in an Astro site?

Existing React components can be reused in an Astro site, either rendered to static HTML or hydrated as islands. Components that depend on global app state or client-side routing need some rework. We review your component library and mark which components move as they are and which need changes.

How accessible is an Astro website out of the box?

An Astro website is only as accessible as its components, because Astro outputs whatever HTML you write. The advantage is plain, server-rendered HTML with little JavaScript in the way. We build semantic markup, focus states and keyboard paths into each component and test them with a screen reader.

How much does an Astro component system cost to build?

The price moves with the number of unique templates and interactive islands. A CMS integration is scoped separately when your editors need one.
