Astro development agency for content sites served as static HTML.
As an Astro development agency we build marketing sites, blogs and content portals, from scratch or migrated from WordPress, Webflow and Next.js.
Static HTML by default
Astro prerenders your pages. Server rendering is switched on only where a route needs it.
Islands architecture
Interactive components hydrate one by one, immediately or once they scroll into view.
Remote and on site
Project work runs remotely in English and German, with on-site sessions across the DACH region.

HappyLipo
Content platform on lipedema: knowledge articles, nutrition, care and downloads. Built by us, first in Webflow. On Astro with Sanity as the editing system since September 2026, maintained by the client.
Why we build content sites with Astro.
-
HTML first, JavaScript on request
Astro prerenders the site and serves static HTML. Client-side JavaScript is added only where a component asks for it.
More on this
Interactive islands get a loading priority assigned through client:load, client:idle or client:visible. Server islands render dynamic parts on the server separately, so the shell of the page can stay aggressively cached. An adapter joins in once a route renders at request time.
-
Content gets a schema
Content collections define a schema per content type, validated with Zod and typed in TypeScript. Miss a required field and the build fails before anything goes live.
More on this
Your editorial routine decides where your content lives. The options are Markdown in the repository through content collections, a headless CMS with an interface, preview and permissions, or editing by chat through an agent writing into the same validated model.
-
The repository is yours
Astro is open-source software under the MIT license. Repository, hosting accounts and domain sit in your name from the first week.
More on this
The repository holds a README explaining build, deployment and content model. Any team working with JavaScript and Git can take over. Astro follows semantic versioning, and exactly one previous major line still receives security fixes, so we plan upgrades as a small recurring task.
-
AI speeds it up, experience decides
We develop with AI assistance because routine work goes faster that way. Architecture, content model and operations come from experience with our own products.
More on this
Every change passes review, type checking and a build in continuous integration before it lands anywhere. Credentials and personal data stay out of those tools. Chat agents are day-to-day work here, and our own WhatsApp AI agent is the evidence.
Got an Astro project in mind?
Describe it in three sentences. You get an assessment of whether Astro fits and what scope is realistic.
Astro is not always the answer.
This is the filter we apply in the first call, before anyone writes a line of code.
Astro fits when …
Your business depends on content, load time and discoverability.
- Your site mainly delivers content, meaning service pages, a blog, documentation and landing pages.
- You want to generate many similar pages from structured data, such as locations, products or categories.
- You want control over the code, with your own repository and your own deployment, free of a platform subscription.
- You are replacing a site slowed by plugins and build times, see migration to Astro.
Another stack fits better when …
Then we recommend the other route and build it ourselves if you want.
- What you are building is a logged-in application with roles and real-time data. That is what custom software is for.
- Your marketing team wants to build pages visually, without developers and without deployments. Then we propose Webflow.
- Most of your product is interactive on the client. That trade-off is covered under Astro vs. Next.js.
- Nobody on your team wants to work with Git and deployments, and no maintenance is budgeted.
How your Astro project runs.
First assessment
You describe the project and your editorial routine, we say whether Astro fits.
Content model and architecture
Page types, fields, collections, and which routes stay prerendered.
Design and build
A manageable component library, then page types, images, forms and integrations.
Launch with an SEO net
Redirect map, metadata and schema setup, sitemap, analytics. We measure before and after go-live.
Handover or ongoing care
Repository, documentation and a walkthrough. Then you decide who builds on.
Astro development agency: frequently asked questions.
What does it cost to have an Astro website built?
The range is set by the number of distinct page types, the depth of the content model and the integrations such as CMS, forms or CRM. After the first call you get an estimate with its assumptions written out. The drivers are itemised on Astro development cost.
How long does an Astro project take?
From kickoff to go-live: four to six weeks for a focused marketing site, eight to twelve weeks with an editorial operation, six to ten weeks for a relaunch with a migration, from twelve for multilingual sites. Where coordination spans several departments, we can take on project management as well.
When is Astro the right choice, and when is it not?
Astro is built for content-driven websites: marketing sites, blogs, documentation, portals with many structured pages. For products with logins, roles and heavy client-side state we recommend a custom web application, or Webflow when editing is purely visual. As an Astro web development company we build all three.
We are on WordPress. Will a migration cost us our rankings?
Not if the migration is planned. We keep the URL structure or produce a complete redirect map, carry metadata and structured data across, and measure visibility before and after the switch. The sequence is described on WordPress to Astro.
Can we edit content ourselves without touching code?
Yes, if we set it up that way. Either content lives as Markdown in the repository and is read type-safe through content collections, or you get a headless CMS with an editing interface, preview and permissions.
Can we build an Astro site with AI ourselves?
For a prototype, yes. For a site that is still maintainable two years later, much depends on the content model, the redirect plan and operations. We work with AI assistance ourselves and run every change through review, type checking and a build.
Everything on Astro, in one place.
Each page answers one question: services, migrations, comparisons and fundamentals.
