Proper websites, done properly

Astro

9 parts / Total read time: 57 mins

Astro is fairly new to the scene, and feels a little like it's somewhere between all the goodness and speed of Eleventy but the React-y parts of Gatsby and Next.

Introduction

If you like working with Eleventy, but you're not so sure that Gatsby or Next.js are right for you, maybe Astro is the missing piece of the puzzle. If you like to do a bit of React, and you want more features out of the box it could be the perfect fit.

In this guide, we'll look to install, set up and create a new website with all the basics similar to the Eleventy guide, which should give you a nice contrast and comparison.
