FAQs

• Why Astro?

  Astro is a meta-framework that allows development with pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with support for developing using any modern front-end development framework (React, Vue, Svelte, etc). It also supports TypeScript out of the box. There are a ton of other beneficial features that make Astro a pleasure to work with. Once a project outgrows Astro, it can be easily 'jettisoned' and upgraded to a more in-depth framework like Next.js.

• How fast are the prototypes?

  Using Astro's zero-JavaScript-by-default approach, most pages achieve sub-second load times and perfect Lighthouse scores out of the box.

• Can this scale for larger applications?

  Absolutely! The tech stack is specifically chosen for scalability. Astro's island architecture, combined with TypeScript's type safety, makes it perfect for growing applications. If need be, the project can be built in another framework like Next.js or SvelteKit from the beginning.

• Do I need to use the same frameworks in my final product?

  No! Astro works with any modern framework, and the component architecture is framework-agnostic. You can easily adapt the code to your preferred stack.

• What do you need to get started?

  Figma/design files, any brand guidelines, and a brief description of the prototype's main functionality. Access to your existing codebase is helpful but not required.

• How do you handle revisions?

  The process includes two revision rounds after the initial build. Additional revisions are billed at a standard hourly rate.
