Astro is the rising framework: used by Google, Apple, Figma and thousands of developers, it produces ultra-fast static sites without unnecessary JavaScript. For a business website (brochure, landing page, corporate site), it is the best technical choice in 2026. Unlike WordPress, an Astro site has no database, no plugins to update, and no exposed attack surface. Result: Lighthouse ≥ 95, sub-second load times, near-zero maintenance. Your site stays fast and secure without monthly intervention. For an SMB, this means: a site that loads instantly on mobile (53% of visitors leave a site taking more than 3 seconds to load), natural search optimization built-in from day one, and maintenance costs divided by 10 compared to WordPress. ## Freelance vs agency: the real comparison A traditional web agency charges you €4,000-12,000 for a business site, with a monthly subscription of €150-500 for 'maintenance'. You pay for a structure (project manager, salesperson, designer, developer) when a single technical person is enough for a brochure site. A senior freelancer like me costs you €2,500-8,000 depending on complexity, with no mandatory subscription. You talk directly to the person coding your site — no middleman, no information loss, no sales delays. And unlike a low-cost freelancer (€500-1,500), you get a developer with 13 years of experience, publicly verifiable Lighthouse scores, and a contract that guarantees the delivered quality. ## My Astro expertise I have been building sites with Astro since its release. I shipped 3 clients in 2026, all with a Lighthouse score ≥ 95 (verifiable on PageSpeed Insights). I master the full chain: custom design, HTML5/Tailwind CSS integration, technical SEO, Schema.org, GEO optimization for ChatGPT and Perplexity. Every site I create is operated by me: you rent a bespoke site, I handle hosting, maintenance and updates. You're free to leave anytime — if you cancel, the site returns to my catalog and can be rented to another client. My approach: a website is not an expense, it's an investment. A well-designed site attracts customers 24/7 without advertising. Renting avoids a heavy upfront investment: you pay a monthly fee, I handle everything else. ## How I work 1\.

Astro produces a static site with no database and no plugins: faster, more secure, near-zero maintenance. For a business brochure site, it's the best technical choice in 2026. WordPress remains relevant for e-commerce or high-volume blogs. 02 How much does an Astro site cost for an SMB? From €39/month for the Essential plan (€490 setup). A full business site (5-15 pages): €2,500-5,500. A custom site with advanced features: €5,500-12,000. All prices are fixed, no commitment. 03 Do I own the site or is it a rental? It's a rental. The site is custom-built for you but remains operated by WebConsulting. Your monthly fee includes hosting and maintenance. If you cancel, the site returns to our catalog and may be rented to another client. 04 Do you also handle SEO? Yes, technical SEO is built into every site (markup, Schema.org, Core Web Vitals). I also offer editorial SEO and link-building services, plus GEO optimization for ChatGPT and Perplexity. ### Need a hand? Our teams handle this type of mission from A to Z, with a tailored proposal adapted to your context.
