Astro Website Design
We design, build, and run the whole thing on Astro — near-zero JavaScript by default, a 90+ mobile PageSpeed target on the day it launches, and a technical foundation search engines and AI answer engines can actually read.
- 90+ mobile performance target
- Full on-page SEO on every page
- Weekly blog system included
- Free hosting, SSL & CDN
The problem
Sound familiar?
Your current site scores under 60 on mobile PageSpeed
And most of your traffic — and Google's ranking signal — is judged on the mobile score, not the desktop one that looked fine in the demo.
WordPress plugin bloat made the site slow and fragile
Every plugin added to fix one problem quietly created three more milliseconds of load time and one more thing that can break on update.
The site isn't built for SEO or AI answer engines
No clean heading structure, no schema markup, thin content — so Google and tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity have nothing solid to crawl or cite.
Every "fast" website quote is still a heavy page builder underneath
Elementor, Divi, and most drag-and-drop builders ship megabytes of framework code before your actual content even loads.
The site and your GHL account don't talk to each other
Contact forms dump into an inbox instead of a pipeline, so leads sit unrouted until someone remembers to check email.
Problem → solution → result
What Astro Websites fixes in your business
The day-to-day problems we hear most, what we build to solve them, and what changes once it's live.
-
Problem
Your site is slow on phones
Most local customers search on mobile. A page-builder site that takes several seconds to load loses them before your offer even appears.
What we set up
Astro build with a 90+ mobile target
Static-first pages with almost no JavaScript, optimized images, and Core Web Vitals checked on throttled mobile before launch.
Result
Pages that open instantly
Visitors see your services and call button right away, and Google's page-experience signals work for you instead of against you.
-
Problem
Google and AI tools can't find or cite you
Thin service pages, missing schema, and no location pages mean you don't show up for "near me" searches or in ChatGPT and AI Overviews.
What we set up
SEO, AEO & GEO built into every page
Service and location pages, LocalBusiness and FAQ schema, answer-first content, sitemap, robots.txt, and llms.txt from day one.
Result
Found on Google and quoted by AI
Your site gives search engines and answer engines clear, structured facts they can rank and cite.
-
Problem
Form leads sit in an inbox
Contact forms email someone who is busy, so leads wait hours for a reply and quietly choose a competitor.
What we set up
Forms wired straight into GoHighLevel
Every form and booking request lands in your pipeline, tagged by source, with instant SMS/email follow-up and Conversation AI replies.
Result
Every lead answered in seconds
Your website stops being a brochure and starts booking appointments automatically.
The solution
Built on Astro, faster than WordPress, Wix, and GHL
The site is fast the day it goes live. Speed isn't something we tune later — it's a consequence of how it's built.
90+ PageSpeed, guaranteed
We build on Astro and target a 90+ mobile PageSpeed score — often a perfect 100 — on both mobile and desktop. Fast on the day it launches, not after someone audits plugins six months later.
Faster than WordPress, Wix, and GHL
No page-builder overhead, no plugin stack. Static-first pages open instantly, which matters because the person reading is usually comparing you to two or three others, on their phone.
An interface that reads as a serious business
Restrained typography, real hierarchy, and a layout built for reading, not scrolling past. The design makes the case for your business before a word of copy is read.
What speed is actually worth
The person reading your site has usually already opened two or three competitors, and they're doing it on their phone. A page that opens instantly gets read. A page that spins gets closed — and you never learn it happened. That's why every site we build is benchmarked against a 90+ mobile PageSpeed target before launch, not treated as a nice-to-have.
Speed & performance
A website that loads before your competitor's does
Local customers compare two or three businesses on their phone. We build and test every site against a 90+ mobile Lighthouse/PageSpeed target and Google's "good" Core Web Vitals thresholds — so the page opens instantly and the call button is on screen before they give up.
Main content visible fast
Taps and clicks respond instantly
Nothing jumps while loading
Thresholds: Google Core Web Vitals "good" ratings. Score bands: Lighthouse (0–49 poor, 50–89 needs improvement, 90–100 good).

Frequently asked questions
Why Astro instead of WordPress, Wix, or a page builder?
Astro ships little to no JavaScript by default, which is the single biggest lever for real mobile performance. Page builders can look similar in a demo but carry far more code weight, and that shows up directly in your Core Web Vitals and PageSpeed score.
Is 90+ mobile performance actually guaranteed?
We build and QA every site against a 90+ mobile Lighthouse/PageSpeed target using real mobile network throttling, not a desktop screenshot. Scores can shift slightly if you add heavy third-party embeds later, which we'll flag if they affect performance.
Can I edit content myself after launch, or do I need a developer?
Content lives in structured files you (or we) can edit directly, and most clients let us handle updates as part of their plan — but a technical teammate can absolutely edit it directly if you prefer.
Do you write the blog content, or do we?
We write it. Each package includes a set number of SEO-researched, keyword-targeted blog posts written and published on a fixed monthly cadence.
Can the site connect to our existing GoHighLevel account?
Yes — forms and booking flows are built to post directly into your GHL pipeline, so new leads route into automations you already have (or that we build alongside it).
What if we later need WordPress instead?
If a specific plugin ecosystem or CMS requirement comes up down the line, we also build WordPress sites — see our WordPress website design service — and can advise honestly on which stack actually fits.
