WordPress to Astro
Your WordPress site is at risk.
Every WordPress site is a stack of PHP, plugins and updates waiting to go wrong. This month it was PHP2Shell, a critical PHP flaw that lets attackers take over unpatched servers.
We rebuild your site in Astro: no PHP to patch, pages that load in a blink, and your content and Google rankings kept.
Faster where it counts
Google measures how real visitors experience your site, and calls it Core Web Vitals. More Astro sites pass that test than sites on any other popular platform, WordPress included.

| Running costs | Hosting, premium plugins, security add-ons | Light hosting, no plugin licences |
