I build fast, findable, custom websites with Astro. Freelance, based in Veghel, the Netherlands — working with clients worldwide.
From concept to launch.
Interfaces that feel obvious. Layouts shaped around your content, your brand, and how people actually read on a screen.

Astro Rocket — my free, open-source Astro 6 theme. A finished website you launch by changing the text: 12 colour themes, 57 components, a 3-state colour mode, and a 100/100/100/100 Lighthouse score out of the box.
My portfolio and personal proving ground — designed and created by me on Astro Rocket, the Astro 6 starter I built. A locked brand-blue identity, a real 3-state colour mode, LetterGlitch CTAs, and a clean 100/100/100/100 Lighthouse run on mobile and desktop.
I design and build custom websites end to end — from the first idea to launch. You get a site that looks great, loads fast, and gets found on Google — one you'll be proud to put your name on. I build with Astro because it matches how I think about the web: lean, purposeful, and built to last.
On the blog, I share the ideas and decisions that shape my work.

Why Astro is the only web framework I reach for. What it is, how it works, and why it quietly changed how I think about building fast, calm, well-made websites.
Hans Martens — Astro developer & web designer in Veghel. From Windows 3.1 to building Astro sites with Claude. The longer story.
As a freelance Astro developer, I spent a caffeinated few hours building a brand-coloured tech-stack marquee for my homepage — and shipped the same component in my Astro Rocket theme.
I only use the best of the modern web.
I design and build new websites. Every project, start to finish, by me. Tell me what you have in mind.
