ASTRO SERVICES
Marketing sites, documentation estates, multilingual portals, and headless front-ends on Sitecore, Contentful, Sanity, Storyblok, Strapi, Keystatic, or TinaCMS — shipped on Astro with islands architecture, zero JS by default, and a build pipeline tuned for editor velocity.
Why Astro
For content-heavy sites
Most JS frameworks ship React (or Vue, or Svelte) to the browser whether the page needs it or not. On marketing sites, blog estates, documentation portals, and multilingual brand sites, that's wasted bytes on every visit — and seconds added to LCP on mobile.
Astro renders to HTML by default and only hydrates the islands that actually need JavaScript. Same content, same CMS, fewer bytes — and Lighthouse scores that hold up on real devices, not just the dev's MacBook.
How we engage
Whether you need a greenfield build, a migration off a heavier stack, a two-week audit, a headless front-end on Contentful, Sanity, Sitecore, Storyblok, Strapi, Keystatic, or TinaCMS, or just an experienced pair of hands on retainer — you get the same senior Astro team.
01 / 05
New Astro sites from discovery through go-live. Islands architecture, component libraries your editors and engineers can both live with, and a build pipeline tuned for fast iteration. We pair Astro with whichever headless CMS fits — Contentful, Sanity, Sitecore, Storyblok, Strapi, Keystatic, TinaCMS, or MDX-in-repo.
Talk to us about a implementation02 / 05
Page-for-page migrations off bloated stacks. We preserve URLs, redirects, and content workflows; we re-baseline performance; and we ship in cutovers your editors trust. Targets: Contentful, Sanity, Sitecore, Storyblok, Strapi, Keystatic, TinaCMS — pick the CMS that fits, we'll wire it to Astro.
Talk to us about a migration03 / 05
A fixed-fee two-week sprint where senior engineers profile the site (Lighthouse, WebPageTest, RUM), identify the top wins, and ship a written report with a re-baselined performance budget. You can take the report and run, or have us implement the fixes on retainer.
Talk to us about a performance audit04 / 05
We ship Astro front-ends against every major headless CMS. Pick by editor experience, by hosting, by budget, or by what your content team already knows. For Sitecore customers we maintain the open-source Sitecore Astro SDK; for the rest, we bring battle-tested integration patterns.

Retainers priced by the hour or the sprint. We keep your Astro site shipping: dependency upgrades, security patches, performance monitoring, small features, editor support, and a guaranteed senior engineer on call for incidents.

SITECORE ASTRO SDK
Only a handful of companies in the world build their own SDK for Sitecore — we're one of them. Our Astro SDK ships Sitecore-headless sites with islands architecture, partial hydration, and a build pipeline tuned for editor velocity. Same Layout Service, same personalization, a fraction of the JS.

Results
Lighthouse Perf, mobile
Sitecore Astro 91 vs Sitecore Next.js Content SDK 61, averaged across 17 pages over 68 Lighthouse runs.
Faster LCP
Sitecore Astro 2.96s vs Sitecore Next.js 6.16s on mobile — the same Sitecore Content SDK pages, two frameworks.
Less main-thread blocking
Total Blocking Time on mobile: Astro 170ms vs Next.js 1,028ms. Editors hit Save, users feel the difference.
"Astro was, Astro is, and Astro will be the way to get the most performant Sitecore websites. There are still no competitors who can get results similar to it."

The stack
Astro is the front-end. Around it: any headless CMS, any major UI framework for islands, every edge host worth deploying to, and an AI layer your engineers will actually use.
Frequently asked
For content-heavy sites — marketing, documentation, blog estates, multilingual brand portals — Astro ships zero JS by default and only hydrates the islands that actually need it. The Next.js default is the opposite: React on every page, whether the page needs it or not. On our Sitecore benchmark, Astro beat the Next.js Content SDK reference by +30 Lighthouse points and 3.2 seconds of LCP on mobile. For app-shaped UIs Next.js is still a fine choice — we ship both.
Yes. We do page-for-page migrations — preserving URLs, redirects, structured data, and editor workflows. Typical engagement: 4–10 weeks for a 30-page marketing site, longer for content estates with hundreds of templates. We can keep WordPress as the editing CMS and let Astro render the front-end, or move the content into a modern headless CMS at the same time.
No. The Sitecore Astro SDK is our proof of depth — we maintain it because our own engineers needed it — but our Astro work spans every kind of content-heavy site. Marketing sites, documentation portals, multilingual brand estates, e-commerce frontends, retainer support. The SDK is the moat; the practice is broader.
Two weeks from first call to senior engineers in the codebase, typical. For audits and rescues we start with a paid two-week diagnostic: profile the site, identify the top wins, hand back a re-baselined plan. After that, you decide whether we ship the rest or take the plan and run.
Yes — it's free to use forever. We built it because our own engineers needed it. If you want help integrating it into your team's headless workflow, that's where consulting comes in.
