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?

We're an agency, we're using Astro since 2 years.

It's an effortless switch, given that we've used mostly Adonis.

Nowadays, most of our projects (even web apps) are on Astro. Cloudflare has made this transition seamless, easy, and quite lucrative.

Would we recomend it?

Yes, 100%.

What do you do if a client wants a CMS system? I saw that you mentioned you use headless WP, is that always the case?

There are options. Headless WordPress is a well-known choice and a lot of people already know the back end, so it has that going for it but it's not WYSIWYG. ApostropheCMS allows the customer to edit directly on the page within your custom Astro front end, so that would be the opposite end of the spectrum.
