Astro isn’t just for hobby blogs. Every site below is listed in the official Astro showcase, as checked on November 6, 2026.

The list

Large sites change often, and a showcase listing doesn’t say how much of a site runs on Astro.

What you can take from this

Notice the pattern. These are mostly sites people read: brand pages, documentation, blogs and campaigns. That’s where Astro does its best work, and your first site is probably the same kind of thing.

You don’t need a team to use the same tool. Start the free course and you’ll have your own site online today.

Stuck on a step?
