Web development
A fast website runs on clean technology. We build with Astro, a modern framework that delivers lean pages and only loads JavaScript where it's needed. The result loads fast, runs securely and stays easy to maintain.

- Custom features and integrations when your workflows need them
- Testing on common browsers and devices before launch

How we work
We build the approved design one building block at a time. Every component works with a keyboard, adapts to every screen size and is easy to fill in the CMS.
During development, we add your content and test as we go. Before launch, we check load times, accessibility and forms once more in a separate pass.
03
What this means for you
Your website loads fast, even on a smartphone with a weak connection. It works without trackers and needs no cookies, as long as you don’t embed services that set them. Because the code is tidy, future additions don’t require major rework.
An example from our work: for an internal medicine group practice, we built a form that adapts to the visitor’s request. Appointment requests, prescription orders and job applications land automatically in the right inbox at the practice.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why Astro and not WordPress?
Astro delivers pages as lean, prebuilt files. That makes them fast and reduces the attack surface, because there are fewer plugins and fewer places that need regular patching. You still update your content comfortably in a CMS.
Can you connect existing systems?
In many cases, yes. Examples are a booking system, a newsletter service or your own data source. For a botanical mapping project, for instance, we built an import that turns Excel spreadsheets directly into species pages and maps. We'll work out what's possible for you in a conversation.
Do I get the source code of my website?
You receive a perpetual license to use your website. While we host your website, the source code stays with us. When you cancel hosting, you get it as an export for free and can run your website wherever you like. Reusable parts such as components and tooling stay with Entropic, so we can keep improving them and use them in other projects.
