Why Momentum
Why Astro — and why us
Astro ships plain, fast HTML by default — no framework bloat — which is why it's become the go-to for content sites that need to rank. We pair it with Claude Code, so changes that used to be an agency invoice become a five-minute edit. We migrated our own sites and our clients' the same way: one rebuild moved a charity from WordPress to Astro with its search equity fully intact — organic clicks grew from 9 to 149 a month straight after cutover.

FAQ
Common questions
What is Astro?
Astro is a modern web framework built for content-driven sites. It ships zero JavaScript by default, so pages load near-instantly — which users like and Google rewards. It powers everything from marketing sites to large content platforms.
Why choose Astro over WordPress or Squarespace?
Speed, cost and ownership. An Astro site typically loads far faster than a page-builder site, runs on free-tier hosting instead of a monthly platform fee, and lives in a repository you own — no plugins to patch, no platform lock-in.
Can you migrate my existing site to Astro?
Yes — that's our bread and butter. We map every URL, carry your content and design across, and set up tested 301 redirects so your Google rankings survive the move. We've done this for our own sites and client sites.
Can non-technical staff edit an Astro site?
Yes. We set up content collections and a lightweight CMS so your team can change copy, menus, hours and posts the same day, without a developer. Bigger changes are made with AI against the repo — which we can teach your team to do.
What does an Astro website cost to run?
Usually just your domain name (around $20 a year). Hosting on Netlify's free tier comfortably serves most business sites. There's no platform subscription and no compulsory maintenance retainer.
