Using Astro as a non-developer
I’ve recently started creating some simple project sites with Astro and I absolutely love it compared to WordPress. Sites are all local business sites, using GitHub and cloud flair pages, R2 storage for images, and a web hook behind a cloud flare secret variable to send form submissions.
I’m considering moving away from WordPress entirely, but because I don’t have a developer background, I am unsure of the pitfalls I may run into and I rely on Claude Code to troubleshoot.
My main question is, what are the pitfalls if I’m going to run into using Astro with this set up, most of the feedback I’ve gotten is that it’s probably fine and low risk since I’m just running static sites.
My choices are basically, one - stick with WordPress, two - move to Astro and rely on Claude code to build and troubleshoot, or three - hire a developer for my team who can handle the infrastructure, but I don’t know if that’s overkill for what I need.
Those experienced with Astro - is it a must to have a developer for this when building local business sites on Astro? Ultimately I probably will, but I want to figure out ahead of time what I “don’t know” and how big of an issue it will be if i delay sourcing a dev for my team.
Thanks in advance!
