Astro development and support
- We support it
- We build with it
- We use it ourselves
Astro is the framework this website is built with: content-first pages that ship almost no JavaScript by default and score well on speed without effort. We build Astro sites, migrate to it, and support the ones already out there.
The relationship
How we work with Astro
- Support
We support it
Build failures, content-collection errors, integrations that broke after an upgrade, hosting and deployment issues.
- Build
We build with it
Marketing and content sites where speed and search matter, with the CMS or API your team already uses feeding the content.
- In-house
We use it ourselves
clarkes.team runs on Astro, deployed on Vercel. We know the framework from the operating side, not just the tutorial.

Astro problems we fix
You don’t need to know the technical name for it. Tell us what’s happening, and we’ll work out what needs attention.
-
“The build fails after an upgrade.”
We read the error, fix the integration or config change behind it, and pin what needs pinning.
-
“Pages are slower than they should be for a static site.”
Usually an image, a font or a client-side component that didn’t need to be one. We measure and fix.
-
“We need Astro to pull content from our CMS or API.”
Content collections, build-time fetching and rebuild hooks, wired to WordPress, a headless CMS or a custom API.
-
“We want to move off WordPress to Astro.”
Content migration, URL preservation, redirects and a build pipeline, with search rankings checked before and after.
-
“Deployment and hosting questions.”
Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages or your own server: we set up the pipeline and the preview deployments.
-
“The site needs an interactive part.”
Islands with the framework that fits (React, Svelte, plain JavaScript), kept to the parts that need it.
Something else with Astro? Tell us about it.
Questions we get
Astro, answered plainly
Why Astro rather than WordPress?
For content and marketing sites, Astro gives speed and security with less to maintain. WordPress is better when non-technical editors need a full CMS. We’ll say which fits.
Can editors still update an Astro site?
Yes, through a CMS feeding the build, including WordPress as a headless backend.
Do you host Astro sites?
We deploy to Vercel or similar platforms and manage the setup, or to a server we run.
Can you fix an Astro site someone else built?
Yes. Send us access to the repository and tell us what’s wrong.
Start the conversation
Got a Astro headache?
Tell us what’s giving you trouble, or what you’d like to stop managing yourself. You don’t need a technical brief. A few sentences is a good place to start.
