Web Development
Whether you need a sharp business website or a headless Shopify storefront, I build on AstroJS — fast, SEO-first, and designed to look nothing like a template. One stack, two use cases, zero compromise on performance.
The Stack
One Framework, Built for Both
Not every business needs a Shopify storefront. A lot of people just need a website that looks professional, loads fast, and shows up on Google when someone searches for what they do. That's the core of what I build — clean, well-structured AstroJS sites for service businesses, consultants, creatives, and anyone else who needs a serious web presence without an overbuilt CMS or a WordPress install they'll never touch.
For those who do need commerce, I build headless Shopify storefronts on the same foundation. Shopify handles the back-end — products, inventory, payments, checkout, fulfilment — while AstroJS handles everything the visitor sees. The result looks nothing like a Shopify theme, loads significantly faster than one, and gives you full control over every pixel without giving up any of Shopify's reliability.
Either way, the approach is the same: pages pre-rendered at build time as pure HTML, served from a global CDN edge, with zero render-blocking JavaScript. Interactive elements — contact forms, cart drawers, navigation menus — are lightweight React islands that hydrate only when the visitor actually needs them. Everything else arrives at the browser already painted.
Every site I ship includes hand-crafted JSON-LD structured data, Open Graph and Twitter card meta, a sitemap built around your most important pages, and canonical tags handled correctly from day one. None of it is delegated to a plugin — it's built directly into the Astro page templates so it works reliably on every page, every time.
What I Deliver
Performance as a Competitive Advantage
Most websites are slower than they need to be — heavy page builders, unused plugins, and client-rendered JavaScript that stacks up before a visitor sees anything. AstroJS sidesteps all of that. Pages are pre-built and served as static HTML, which means sub-second load times on mobile, strong Core Web Vital scores, and a Lighthouse number your competitors almost certainly can't match.
Every build ships with automated Lighthouse CI checks and bundle analysis so performance never regresses after launch. If a new page template or component introduces a slowdown, it's caught before it reaches production — not after it's already dented your rankings.
