We rebuild your site in Astro as a static site, keep your URLs and rankings, and host it on Cloudflare, Netlify or Vercel, often on the free plan. Built a site yourself in Claude or ChatGPT? We finish it, launch it and look after it.
Each platform lets go of a site differently. Pick yours to see what moves, what gets rebuilt, and the guide with the details.
The move we do most. A site with a theme, a few plugins and a blog becomes a folder of pages and Markdown posts.
Webflow's code export gives you HTML and CSS. It leaves out the CMS, forms and site search, so those are rebuilt.
Wix has no export for the site itself, so it is rebuilt from what is live. Your domain comes with you.
Whatever the tool wrote, Astro, React or plain HTML, the site usually works on your laptop and nowhere else yet.
Astro is a free, open-source web framework. It builds your site into finished HTML pages before anyone visits, and sends little or no JavaScript to the browser unless a part of the page needs it. Cloudflare bought the company behind Astro in January 2026 and kept it open source and free to host anywhere.
For a small business site, that means fast pages, nothing to patch on a server, and hosting that often costs nothing. Your team edits through a CMS with a normal editing screen. Bookings, logins and members areas run on pages rendered on the server, with a database such as Netlify DB or Cloudflare D1 behind them, while the rest of the site stays static.
This site runs on Astro, with one small function on Netlify for the contact form.
| WordPress | Webflow or Wix | Astro | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosting | Shared or managed hosting, billed monthly | A site plan, billed monthly or yearly | Often $0 on a free plan for a small site |
| Updates | Core, theme and plugins, every few weeks | Done by the platform | A few packages, a few times a year |
| What an attacker can reach | A login page, a database and every plugin | The platform's login | Plain files on a CDN, with no login or database |
| Leaving later | An export file, plus rebuilding what plugins did | Wix has no site export. Webflow exports code without the CMS | The whole site is a folder in your Git repository |
| Editing a page | Anyone, in the dashboard | Anyone, in the visual editor | Anyone, in a CMS editing screen |
| Bookings and logins | A plugin for each, with yearly licences | Platform apps, often on a monthly fee | Built to fit, with a database on your host |
We set the site up on your own account, so the host bills you, not us. Your domain still costs money, about the same as it does now.
Requests for static files are free and unlimited, on the free plan too. Our default for most small business sites.
The free plan is 300 credits a month. If they run out, the site pauses until the next month, so a busy site moves to Personal at $9 a month.
Our pick when a site needs server features, like a booking flow with its own logic. Its free Hobby plan is meant for personal projects, so business sites usually go on Cloudflare.
Astro draws the pages. Something else keeps the products, the cart and the payments. Three setups we build, from smallest to largest.
Products live as files in the site. The buy button opens Stripe's hosted checkout. You pay Stripe's fee per sale and no monthly platform fee.
Astro and StripeShopify keeps products, stock and checkout. Astro draws the pages from the Storefront API, so content pages and product pages share one fast site.
Astro storefrontsYour team keeps the WordPress admin it knows. Astro draws the shop pages from the Store API and hands the cart to WooCommerce checkout.
WooCommerce developmentPick one or several. The quote names which of these it covers and what it does not. Anything else is a written change request with its own price.
Your current design tidied up, or a new one, as Astro components you own.
A redirect map for anything that changes, so Google and old links land on the right page.
Read the guideTitles, descriptions, schema, sitemap and Search Console, set up before launch.
Pages and posts as Markdown in your repository. Images resized and compressed at build time.
Spam protection and a copy to a second inbox, so a lead is never lost to one failed email.
Set up on your own Cloudflare, Netlify or Vercel account, with HTTPS.
Read the guideA headless CMS when someone edits every week. Plain Markdown when it is twice a year.
Code review, exposed keys removed, security headers, an accessibility pass, then launch.
Read the guideStripe Checkout, or Shopify or WooCommerce behind Astro. Booking flows and members areas on a database.
Read the guideA small business site of up to about ten pages, moved with every URL kept, in two to four weeks. Bigger sites, a CMS for your team, a storefront, a booking flow or a members area are quoted on their own. Half to start, half when you accept it on staging.
For Astro sites and sites built in Claude or ChatGPT. Uptime and form checks, dependency and Astro updates, a monthly backup of the repository, and one hour of edits. Cancel any month.
No sales call. A form, a quote, a build, a warranty.
Two or three sentences on what you need built.

Two business daysWeekly progress on a staging copy. Automated tests plus a manual pass on real orders.
One project at a timeLive with you. Anything in our work that misses the quote in the first month is fixed without an invoice.
30 days includedA free, open-source tool for building websites. It turns your pages into plain HTML files before anyone visits, so they load fast and there is no database or login on the live site to attack. Cloudflare has owned the company behind it since January 2026, and Astro stays open source and can be hosted anywhere.
Not if every old URL either stays the same or gets a 301 redirect to its new page, and the titles, descriptions and schema come across. We build the redirect map before anything else and check Search Console after launch. Google notes that rankings can move around for a while as it recrawls a site that changed.
Yes, in one of three ways: edit Markdown files on GitHub's website, use a headless CMS such as Keystatic, Decap or Sanity with a normal editing screen, or send the change to Site care. Teams that publish every day get a CMS, so nobody has to touch code.
Yes. Astro renders those pages on the server, keeps visitors signed in with sessions, and stores the data in a database on your host, such as Netlify DB or Cloudflare D1. The rest of the site stays static and fast. A booking flow or members area is quoted on its own, and if a booking tool you already pay for works, we connect it instead of rebuilding it.
For most small business sites, yes. Cloudflare serves static files free with no request limit, and Netlify's free plan covers a quiet site within 300 credits a month. We set the site up on the free plan that fits and tell you before launch if it would ever need a paid one. The domain is never free, and a contact form may need a small email service.
Yes. We review the code, move it into your own GitHub repository, connect your domain, make the contact form send, remove any keys exposed in the browser, add the SEO basics, and launch it. If the code is too tangled to keep, the quote says so and prices a clean rebuild in Astro.
Yes. A small catalog can use Stripe Checkout with no monthly platform fee. A growing catalog keeps Shopify or WooCommerce for products, stock and checkout, and Astro draws the pages.
From $1,500 fixed for a small business site of up to about ten pages, in two to four weeks. A larger blog, a CMS for your team or a storefront is quoted on its own after we look at the current site.
For $79 a month: uptime and contact form checks, dependency and Astro updates, a monthly backup of the repository, and one hour of edits. WooCommerce and Shopify stores use the Care retainer at $249 a month, which covers more.

WebsitesA static Astro site costs about $10 a year to keep online, against hundreds for a typical WordPress setup. The real cost is hours: edits and upgrades.
