Beyond WordPress. The right tool for the job.
Not every website needs WordPress. Sometimes a static site in Astro, a headless CMS or a feature written from scratch is the better choice. I advise on what makes sense in your case — and build it.
scope
What’s included.
Static sites in Astro
Very fast websites with no database and no login panel to attack. Great for business cards, portfolios and product pages. This website works that way too.
Headless CMS
A friendly content editor decoupled from the presentation layer. You can keep WordPress as the back end or choose another CMS.
Landing pages
Single pages for campaigns and products: fast, measurable and built to convert.
Custom features
Calculators, forms, API integrations and automations in PHP and JavaScript — where an off-the-shelf plugin isn’t enough.
Modern hosting
Deployments on Cloudflare and similar platforms: a global server network, high resilience to traffic spikes and low running costs.
An honest recommendation
Before we start, I compare the options in terms of cost, ease of editing and maintenance. If WordPress turns out to be better — I’ll say so.

faq
Questions about this service.
Don’t see your question? Drop me a line — I’ll give you a straight answer.
Can I edit content on a static website myself?
Yes. I can connect a friendly editor (a headless CMS) or set up a simple way to update content. The choice depends on how often you change things.
When is WordPress better, and when is Astro?
WordPress works well when you publish often, need a store or lots of ready-made extensions. Astro — when speed, security and low running costs matter most and content changes less often.
Can you add a feature to an existing website?
Yes. I add custom features, integrations and fixes to existing websites — including ones I didn’t build.
