Why your website isn’t working for you
Platforms change. Constantly. Updates (oh, the WordPress updates), repricing, and acquisitions keep shifting the ground under you, and leaving means starting over.
Beautiful handcuffs. You love your site, but every edit needs a developer, so you’re renting a site you can’t move or change.
Hidden levers. Speed, SEO, and AI search are levers the platform won’t let you pull. WordPress wants another plugin. Webflow wants custom code.
Expansion limits. Adding a page, a service, or a team member is a chore, so you stop experimenting.
Slow by default. Captive platforms load everything a developer might need on every page. Your visitors wait, and your rankings pay for it.
New websites, migrations, and custom tools
Your new site, made fast.
Your current site isn’t telling the right story, or it’s old, clunky, and costing you opportunities. You don’t have six months. We can plan, write, design, and build your new site in about two months, start to finish, so it attracts your ideal buyers.
Your website, made yours.
You like your website. It’s just not yours. You’re wearing the beautiful handcuffs, your team is frustrated, and a rebuild isn’t in the budget. We can migrate your Webflow or WordPress site, pixel-perfect, so you hold the keys and your team can finally edit it.
Your idea, made real.
You have an idea to make your life or your client work easier. Maybe you’ve vibe coded a version that doesn’t work like you want or match your brand. We can plan and build a branded tool the way you see it in your head. Proof of concept or production-ready.
Who owns your website?
With us, you do. Every account is opened in your name: the code, the content, the hosting, the domain, and the analytics. You hold every key, and you decide who else gets one, including us.
Your team can edit it. Update services, team members, and case studies. Add, remove, or reorder sections on any page. Only a brand-new kind of section needs a developer, and that developer doesn’t have to be us.
It’s fast and easy to find. Astro builds lean pages that Google rewards and AI search tools can read and quote. And we do the SEO research before we design anything.
It costs $40 to $55 a month to run. That money goes to the services that host and run your site, in your name. Not to us.
What we believe about websites
Leads.
Your website should generate leads.
Clients tell us their website isn’t doing any work for them. It’s a band poster in a bar: someone notices it when the light hits just right, and the rest of the time, it’s dark. We believe your website should carry weight for your sales team, tell a story, and drive to action.
Evolution.
Your website should be easy to update.
Most websites get built and never touched again, not for lack of content, but because nobody can update them. We believe a website should be a living thing: never finished, always growing. Hit publish, and it’s live, with the brand polish intact.
Experience.
Your website should be a brand experience.
Your site is often the first time someone experiences your brand. We believe the perceived quality of your brand is tied directly to the quality of your website. You can have a kick-ass logo and a terrible site, and your buyer will see a terrible brand. Or no brand at all.
