A company specialized in Astro development.
Astro website development with static HTML, a performance score of 100 and a structure ready for Google and AI search engines. An Astro agency in Brazil, from design to deployment on our own infrastructure.
Astro is not just another option in our catalog: it is the foundation of our corporate website, landing page and headless e-commerce projects — including this very site you are reading now, which keeps a 100/100 PageSpeed score in production.
What Astro is and why we bet on it
Astro is a modern web development framework designed for content-driven sites: corporate websites, landing pages, blogs and e-commerce storefronts. The big difference compared to traditional builders lies in what comes out of the build: pure static HTML. While most frameworks ship a JavaScript application that the browser must execute to assemble the screen, Astro delivers the page ready-made — visitors see the content the moment the connection responds.
In practice, this means performance scores that other sites simply cannot reach. Agência Rollin's own website is built with Astro and keeps a 100/100 score on PageSpeed Insights in production — not in a test environment, not on an isolated page: across the entire site, with chat, forms and analytics running. We use our own website as proof of what we deliver to clients.
Interactivity is not left out. Astro works with the concept of islands of interactivity: each dynamic component — a smart form, a chat with an AI agent, a pricing calculator — loads only the JavaScript it needs, in isolation, without dragging the rest of the page along. You get a site as rich as an application, with the weight of a static page.
And there is an increasingly decisive reason to choose Astro: AI search engines do not execute JavaScript. GPTBot (ChatGPT), ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and the crawlers behind Google's AI Mode read the HTML the server delivers — and nothing more. A site that depends on rendering in the browser is, to these robots, a blank page. An AI-optimized website starts by delivering the full content in HTML, and that is exactly what Astro does by architecture, not by workaround.
Why an Astro website is faster, more secure and more visible
Four architectural decisions in the framework that turn into business results.
Static HTML output
Astro compiles everything into plain HTML at build time. The browser receives a ready-made page, without waiting for JavaScript to assemble the screen — which is why loading is nearly instant.
Zero JavaScript by default
Unlike frameworks that ship the entire bundle to the client, Astro only sends JavaScript where you asked for interactivity. The rest of the page is pure HTML and CSS.
Islands of interactivity
Forms, carousels, calculators and chats become "islands" that hydrate in isolation. Each interactive component loads only its own code, without weighing down the rest of the site.
Ready for GEO and AI search engines
ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity crawlers do not execute JavaScript. Because Astro delivers content already rendered as HTML, the AI reads everything — and can cite your company in its answers.
Astro, WordPress or Next.js: which should you choose?
We work with all three technologies — so we can compare them without picking sides. For content-driven sites, Astro wins on most criteria.
To be transparent: Next.js is still the right choice for complex web applications with a lot of client-side logic (dashboards, SaaS), and WordPress works when a large team edits content all day long. For corporate websites, landing pages and store storefronts — the projects where performance and visibility define the outcome — we recommend Astro. Need a different stack?

Frequently asked questions about Astro development
What is Astro?
Astro is an open source web development framework created in 2021 and focused on content-driven sites: corporate websites, landing pages, blogs and e-commerce storefronts. Its core feature is generating static HTML at build time and shipping zero JavaScript to the browser by default — code is only added where there is real interactivity, through the islands architecture. The result is pages that are extremely fast, secure and easy for search engines to read.
Is Astro better than WordPress?
For corporate websites, landing pages and blogs, Astro delivers more performance, more security and less maintenance than WordPress. An Astro site has no database or admin panel exposed in production, so the attack surface practically disappears — while WordPress demands constant updates to core, theme and plugins. On the other hand, WordPress still makes sense when a large team needs to edit dozens of pages a day without involving developers. In those cases, we combine Astro on the frontend with a headless CMS for content editing.
How much does an Astro website cost?
The investment depends on the scope: number of pages, custom design, integrations and content. As a reference, an Astro landing page starts at a lower investment than a complete corporate website, and projects with headless e-commerce or AI integration sit at the top of the range. Infrastructure cost, however, is always lower than that of an equivalent WordPress or Next.js site, because static files do not need application servers.

Can I migrate my WordPress site to Astro?
Yes, and it is one of the services we perform most. The migration includes exporting all content (pages, posts, images), rebuilding the design in Astro components, mapping every old URL with 301 redirects and validating in Search Console to preserve the rankings you have earned on Google. In the end, the site keeps its content and rankings — and gains speed, security and a performance score of 100.
Does Astro work for an online store?
It does, in the headless model: Astro renders the catalog, product pages and corporate content as ultra-fast static HTML, while cart, checkout and payment run through the e-commerce platform API (Shopify, Brazilian platforms or custom solutions). It is the ideal architecture for stores that depend on SEO and paid traffic, because the storefront loads almost instantly. For operations that prefer a complete traditional platform, see our online store development page.
Is an Astro website good for SEO?
It is one of the best possible scenarios for SEO. Googlebot receives the full HTML of the page without needing to render JavaScript, Core Web Vitals are naturally in the green thanks to static HTML, and the clean semantic structure makes the content easy to interpret. In our projects, we add Schema.org in JSON-LD, sitemap, canonicals and a correct heading hierarchy from the very first deploy.
Why is Astro better for showing up on ChatGPT and in AI search?
Because AI crawlers — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot — do not execute JavaScript. A site that depends on rendering in the browser hands these bots a practically empty page. Because Astro compiles everything into static HTML, the content reaches the crawler complete, ready to be read, understood and cited in assistant answers. That is why we use Astro as the foundation of our GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) projects.
How do I update the content of an Astro site without knowing how to code?
There are two paths. For sites with occasional updates, we offer a maintenance plan: you request the change and our team publishes it. For those who need to edit frequently, we integrate a headless CMS (such as Strapi or Sanity) — you edit text and images in a friendly dashboard and the site is rebuilt automatically with each publication, without losing the performance of static HTML.
How long does it take to build an Astro website?
Landing pages are ready in 5 to 10 business days. Complete corporate websites take 15 to 30 days, including custom design and optimized content production. WordPress migrations range from 15 to 45 days depending on the volume of pages and posts. Headless e-commerce and projects with AI integrations are quoted case by case, usually between 30 and 60 days. We work with incremental deliveries so you can follow the progress.
Does an Astro website need special hosting?
No — and that is one of its biggest advantages. Since the build output is static files, the site runs on any hosting, at minimal cost and without depending on PHP, Node.js or a database in production. In our projects, we host on Rollin Host infrastructure, with NVMe servers, SSL, CDN and 24/7 monitoring — which ensures that the speed of the code translates into real speed for the visitor.
