Astro development FAQs

Questions about choosing Astro, content management, migrations, hosting, cost, and long-term ownership.

Still have a question?

Book a discovery call

Fit & planning

Is Astro the right framework for my website?

Astro is a strong fit for content-rich marketing websites where speed, search visibility, and maintainable components matter. If your product needs a highly interactive application interface, we may recommend Next.js instead.

How much does an Astro website cost?

Every Astro website is scoped individually. Cost depends on the number of templates, design work, CMS requirements, integrations, content migration, and the complexity of any interactive features.

Build & integration

Can Astro work with a CMS?

Yes. We can connect Astro to Sanity or another suitable content source, giving editors a practical publishing experience while keeping the front end fast and flexible.

Can you migrate an existing website to Astro?

Yes. We can rebuild suitable Webflow, WordPress, or legacy websites in Astro, mapping content, metadata, URLs, redirects, and analytics before launch.

Launch & ownership

Where do you host Astro websites?

We choose hosting around the project requirements. Cloudflare and Vercel are common options, with domains, build settings, caching, analytics, and deployment workflows configured as part of launch.

Can another developer maintain the site later?

Yes. The project is handed over with readable source code, reusable components, documentation, and access to the services it depends on.

We couldn't be happier with the final product and highly recommend Pinecone to anyone, especially businesses starting out or in the early stages. They'll give you everything you need to establish your business.

The team was fairly priced, demonstrated excellent communication throughout the process, and delivered everything on time. Richard's professionalism and reliability made the entire experience seamless, and we're thrilled with the final result.

    Richard and his team have been essential partners for our organization. Not only did they rebuild our site to match our updated branding, they have implemented custom code solutions and been creative partners on new web projects. They work quickly, efficiently, and provide immense value to our team at RSA. I am grateful we found Pinecone Agency!

    I'm a sole trader who built my own site using Webflow — but I was concerned about how that would impact my SEO when I transitioned from my old site. Richard at Pinecone helped me sail what I expected to be a turbulent sea as if it was a calm lake with a pleasant breeze at our backs. Generous with his knowledge, he outlined all the steps I'd have to take, explaining clearly the process at each juncture and then jumping in when either my lack of time or technical know-how got the better of me. A true partner who places the needs of the customer first and foremost in the process, and is as personable as he is knowledgable, I couldn't recommend him enough. He's a keeper, for sure.

The support provided was outstanding, ensuring a smooth and satisfying project completion. I highly recommend Pinecone Agency for anyone looking for superior web design services.

    Building a website with Pinecone felt more like a team project than a client-contractor relationship. They listened to our ideas, collaborated on every decision, and gave us an outstanding final product. Would definitely use them again on the next project.

    Very professional and detail oriented. Made sure to walk through the process so we learned and understood what we were doing and why. I would absolutely hire them again to design and build my website.

    I reached out to Pinecone Agency late last year to discuss building a new website for my company, Southside Engineering. From the very start, they knew their stuff and were professional and easy to work with. They captured our brand perfectly and made a website that not only looks great but we're now getting more visits and leads through it! I highly recommend them.

    I have been running a hair salon in Portishead, UK for the past 5 years and I can't say enough about how much my experience with Pinecone Agency has enhanced that. They designed an all-new website to better showcase what we do here at ABHairDesign and we are thrilled not only with its appearance but because it's generated plenty more business as well. Since working together on this project several months ago, our inquiries from clients who found us through Google searches or local advertising channels saw a massive increase. I highly recommend them!

    We first worked with Richard in 2019 to develop and design our website, and have seen consistent SEO results, and consistent quality service from Pinecone. They are super easy to communicate with, and great at coming back to us with the specialised requests and additions we have.
