Astro Development
Fast, modern Astro sites built for performance, accessibility, and scalability. You get a lean, future-friendly architecture that stays fast as content grows and remains easy to maintain.
When Astro Is the Right Fit
Astro is a strong fit when you need a website that stays consistently fast as content, templates, and traffic grow. Rather than relying on a heavy runtime for every page request, Astro lets us ship lean, static-first pages with targeted islands of interactivity only where they are genuinely needed.
How Delivery Works
For teams migrating from WordPress or another CMS setup, we start by mapping what should remain content-managed and what should become component-driven. That gives you a cleaner architecture, a more predictable editing workflow, and a frontend that is easier to maintain over time.
Delivery typically includes architecture design, template and component implementation, content model mapping, and integration setup for your chosen CMS or API sources. We also cover performance budgets, accessibility standards, and production deployment so quality is built in from the start.
Long-Term Outcome
The outcome is not just a faster site today. You get a maintainable platform your team can evolve confidently, with fewer performance regressions, lower technical friction, and a structure that scales with your business.

Client Testimonials
It works well for me as I like the fact I am speaking direct to James who is building the site rather than speaking to a junior account manager which you get at many agencies.
After the initial build was completed, James is managing our site and helping with a lot of changes we're doing as we grow.
James is a pleasure to work with: highly skilled, a fantastic problem solver, personable, and easy to collaborate with. We worked closely on a bespoke subscription product and e-commerce site, and he was integral to its success. I would highly recommend him.
When I started as a personal trainer, I underestimated the importance of having a website and online presence. After deciding to build one, James made the process clear from the start. He delivered a site that was easy to navigate, guided me through basic customization, and offered ongoing support. I couldn't have asked for better.
Everyone at King's College London is in love with the new CSGS website, from the faculty in our department to the higher up deans. It's a relief to have a web presence that matches the awesome research reputation of our university.
We're honestly really happy to recommend James for web development-- he's very thoughtful, reliable and always tries to match the web design & functionality to one's mission and KPIs. We're very grateful to have worked with James and are ready to recommend him ten times over!
We have worked with James for several years on our British Science Festival and British Science Week WordPress websites. Thanks to James, the websites have gone through several incarnations and evolve to get better each year. James is professional, friendly, responsive, and always provides a detailed explanation of each stage of the process, including instructional videos.
WildPress has been really helpful in building our website and providing ongoing tips, support, and advice in a timely manner. The site works nicely, looks great, and is easy to manage for someone new to it. Support has always been prompt. Thanks, WildPress!
I've said this to other people, but James is very smart. He's not just a developer, he's good at problem-solving. He can come up with a few solutions and talk them through with me.
Some developers I've worked with need total direction. I like that James can get on with it without being told exactly what needs to be done, particularly with the more complicated builds.
James Whayman has been a precious partner for the past 5 years. I have rarely found someone so professional, dedicated, kind and responsive. He gave a great boost to my website that is now on first page in Google research and I could not be happier with the services that he provided me. I have been impressed with his helpfulness every time I was not able to do something myself or in case of emergency. Highly recommended!!!
James worked with me on a sales site for a piece of software. It was a complicated and, at points vague, brief with multiple implementation options and, at the start, unfinished designs. He worked incredibly quickly, producing code of a very high standard that was meticulously organised. More than that, he worked with us to solve problems; coming up with solutions to design and functionality challenges. Throughout, he was a pleasure to work with. He's someone I'd strongly recommend for any WordPress build-outs.
I recently started my own business in the real estate sector. James provided great advice, helping me with the launch of my website and my social media accounts. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for guidance on improving their website.
James worked with us to help us build the website for our charity. It was a great pleasure to work with him. Very professional and knowledgeable. Thank you very much!
The Centre for Nomadic Studies is an academic research centre focused on the political economy of nomadic cultures, conducting interviews with semi-nomadic communities and digitizing archival materials and photographs from 20th century explorers and travel writers.
I had seen a website James designed for another King's College London research centre and was impressed by its clarity, formatting, and presentation. I wanted that same standard for the centre I was starting and James delivered.
The experience was excellent. James was patient with a wide range of uploads, always responsive, and happy to jump on a Zoom to talk through changes. Since launch, we've already had people reach out and new partnership conversations started. I would absolutely recommend James.
A huge thank you to James who was my biggest support to create a website that supports my passion for fashion. His wide knowledge, great skill set and continues support with new ideas helped to create my website. It was great to see how the site was developed step by step, James would always make sure to talk me through each stage. I would definitely recommend his services especially if you are looking for a friendly approach and high-quality work.
