(WebConsulting · PageSpeed Insights) · [our sources](/sources/) Who it's for ## This service is for you if... Businesses and small companies specifically looking for an Astro developer rather than a generalist WordPress agency: either for a new site built for speed, or to replace a WordPress site that's become slow, vulnerable or expensive to maintain. You talk directly to the person coding, no project manager or salesperson in between. - You're searching for a "freelance Astro developer" rather than a traditional agency. - Your current WordPress site is slow, has been hacked once, or costs a lot in plugins and maintenance. - You want to replace WordPress with Astro without starting over on content that already works. - You're building a landing page or showcase site where load speed is a decision criterion. - You already have an Astro site and need a developer to extend it: see also the maintenance page. Commitment Our promise Lighthouse ≥ 95 guaranteed in writing. 13 years of experience, no long-term commitment. [Free 30-min call](/contact/) Free initial consultation, reply within 48 business hours. Benefits ## Freelance Astro developer : what you gain 01 ### 13 years of experience, verifiable Public Lighthouse scores on PageSpeed Insights for every site delivered. Not a promise: a link you can check yourself before signing. 02 ### No database, no plugins A static Astro site has no exposed admin panel and no third-party extension to keep updated. The attack surface behind 90% of hacked WordPress sites (Sucuri, 2024) simply doesn't exist. 03 ### Direct freelancer, no structure to pay for An agency charges €4,000-12,000 for a showcase site with a separate project manager, salesperson and designer. One senior developer is enough for this scope: the price reflects the work, not the org chart. 04 ### WordPress replacement without losing rankings Existing content migrated, tested redirect plan, URLs that already rank are preserved. This isn't a blind rebuild: see also the website redesign page. 05 ### Clear rental, Freedom Option to buy back the code The domain, content and photos are yours from day one. The Astro code is rented as part of the monthly fee, bought back once via the Freedom Option, like every site from the studio. 06 ### **GEO** included: ChatGPT and Perplexity visibility Schema.org, citable structure and factual content built in from day one, not bolted on later. A static Astro site indexes faster than a site depending on client-side JS rendering. Before / After ## What you lose. What you gain. Your current situation - Slow WordPress site, unmaintained plugins, recurring security updates. - Agency with a separate project manager, salesperson and designer: paying for structure on top of code. - Risky migration off WordPress: broken URLs, lost rankings. - A "starting from" quote that inflates mid-project. - No visibility on generative AI: content not structured for ChatGPT or Perplexity. - Maintenance in a vacuum: nobody watches security updates. With WebConsulting - Static Astro site: no plugins, near-zero attack surface, Lighthouse ≥ 95 guaranteed in writing. - Direct freelancer, 13 years of experience, lower price than an agency for equivalent scope. - Handled migration: content reused, redirects tested, rankings preserved. - Published public price, quote validated before production, reply within 48 business hours. - GEO built in from day one: citable structure for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini. - A fixed fee covering hosting, maintenance and a monthly edit allowance.

Astro produces a static site with no database and no plugins: faster, more secure, near-zero maintenance. WordPress remains relevant for e-commerce or high-volume blogs run by a non-technical team. Can you replace my current WordPress site with Astro? Yes. Content that works is audited and reused, every important URL is individually redirected and tested before going live, so you don't lose rankings already earned. It's handled as a redesign, not a blind rebuild. Are you an agency or a freelancer? A senior freelancer, 13 years of experience. You talk directly to the person coding your site, no project manager or salesperson. That's what allows a lower price than a traditional agency for equivalent scope. Do I own the site or is it a rental? It's a rental, like every site from the studio: the domain, content and photos are yours from day one, the code is rented as part of the plan. The Freedom Option buys the code back once, over 12 monthly payments. How much does an Astro site cost for an SMB? From €490 setup + €39/month on the Essential plan (1 page). A full showcase site (5-15 pages): €2,500-5,500. A custom site with advanced features: €5,500-12,000. See the pricing page for full detail. Do you also handle SEO and GEO? Yes, built in from day one on every site: markup, Schema.org, Core Web Vitals, citable structure for generative AI. Editorial SEO and link-building support is also available as a separate service. ## Sources - [Sources and method: all our measurements and references](/sources/) - [PageSpeed Insights: check our Lighthouse scores](https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis?url=https%3A%2F%2Fweb-consulting.fr%2F) - [Guide: freelance Astro developer for business sites](/guides/developpeur-freelance-astro-sites-entreprise/) Partager [](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fweb-consulting.fr%2Fexpertises%2Fcreation-site-astro%2F&title=Freelance%20Astro%20developer)[](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Freelance%20Astro%20developer&url=https%3A%2F%2Fweb-consulting.fr%2Fexpertises%2Fcreation-site-astro%2F)[](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fweb-consulting.fr%2Fexpertises%2Fcreation-site-astro%2F)[](https://wa.me/?text=Freelance%20Astro%20developer%20https%3A%2F%2Fweb-consulting.fr%2Fexpertises%2Fcreation-site-astro%2F)[](mailto:?subject=Freelance%20Astro%20developer&body=https%3A%2F%2Fweb-consulting.fr%2Fexpertises%2Fcreation-site-astro%2F) Ready to take action? ## Start with a free consultation Un appel de 30 minutes pour comprendre votre situation, identifier les priorités et vous proposer une feuille de route chiffrée. 6-month minimum commitment.
