Used to be WordPress.
Slow projects. Clunky builds. Plugin bloat. Security holes I had to patch every other week.
Now I build with Astro. Hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Updated by AI agents.
Here’s the stack:
- Astro framework → AI-friendly to build, ships pure HTML, fast by default
- Markdown blogging → write in plain text, no clunky editor (add a headless CMS only if a client needs one)
- Cloudflare Pages hosting → secure, global, loads in milliseconds
- AI agents for updates → push changes through a chat app, in plain English
- Technical SEO → handled by an agent, no developer needed
- SEO audits + keyword research → pulled live via API tools
- Content plans → built by AI, refined by a human
- AEO optimisation → answer engines find the site without me lifting a finger
- Scheduled, scaled content → posted on autopilot
- Custom lead magnets → assessments, calculators, tools built into the site (no plugins, no risk)
Same great design. Faster builds. Lower costs. Zero plugin bloat.
The website used to be a project.
Now it’s a system.
