Decision notes

How to make the choice.

01 / COMPARISON

Compare how content gets updated

WordPress gives editors a familiar administration area. Astro can use content files, a headless CMS or another workflow, but the editor experience must be designed into the project. Ask to perform a real update before choosing either route.

02 / COMPARISON

Compare features and upkeep

WordPress plugins can add functions quickly, while each dependency needs review and updates. Astro often ships less client-side code for a mostly informational site, but custom integrations and interactive applications still require development and maintenance. Measure the proposed implementation rather than assuming a framework name guarantees performance.

03 / COMPARISON

Choose around the operating team

If staff publish often, the editing and approval flow may be decisive. If changes are infrequent and a tailored front end matters, Astro may fit. In either case confirm hosting, backups, source access, training and future support before approval.

Before choosing

Questions that usually change the answer.

01Does SiteGuys only use Astro?+

No. Technology should fit the project. SiteGuys itself uses Astro because its static-first model fits this website’s content and performance goals.

02Can Astro use a CMS?+

Yes. Astro can consume content from headless CMS platforms or APIs and still generate static pages.

03Which platform is better for ecommerce?+

Dedicated commerce platforms or a commerce backend may be more appropriate than choosing between Astro and WordPress alone. The right choice depends on catalog and operational needs.
