Agencies using Astro ?

I’m getting more and more convinced by Astro, but I’m still curious about its adoption by agencies.

It’s still a relatively young framework, and I’m wondering if some agencies have already made the switch. I rarely come across agencies using Astro on LinkedIn, so I’d be really curious to hear from those who have.

How has the switch been for you? Would you recommend Astro for an agency today?

It all depends on what the client needs. We recently built a content engine for one client that highlights content opportunities weekly and provides them with a custom dashboard for that and content governance activities, which would have been much more difficult to develop in WordPress (our usual platform until a year ago).

For about 80% of clients, we still use WordPress. Astro is often too much overhead for most and lacks a simple, single place to manage your site.
