Why We Built Wumty
Most website templates solve the wrong problem. They give you a pretty design, then leave you to figure out performance, SEO, accessibility, and deployment on your own. Or worse - they run on WordPress, where every plugin is a security risk and every theme update is a gamble.
We built Wumty because agencies and developers deserve better. The system generates static HTML at build time using Astro, which means no server, no database, no security patches, and no monthly hosting costs. Every page loads in under one second. Every page scores 100/100 on Google Lighthouse. Every page includes proper Schema.org structured data, Open Graph tags, and XML sitemaps - configured from day one.
How Wumty Works
Wumty is a collection of production-ready website templates organized as a monorepo. Each template is built with Astro 6, SolidJS for interactive components, and Tailwind CSS 4 for styling. Content is managed through type-safe content collections with Zod validation.
The Starter Kit is free and open source for learning Astro or building personal projects. The Single Site ($149) adds content collections, blog, contact forms, and structured data for one production site. The Studio ($399) covers up to 10 sites and includes the Calculator Kit. The Agency Kit ($799) adds monorepo architecture, all templates, the Calculator Kit, per-site theming, and white-label delivery for unlimited client websites.
Who Builds Wumty
Wumty is built by a team of full-stack developers with deep experience in Astro, static site generation, and technical SEO. The engineering team has collectively shipped production websites across industries including roofing, cleaning services, SaaS, ecommerce, and professional services.
Every kit is tested against real agency workflows before release. We use the same monorepo and shared packages internally to power our own production sites - the same codebase that ships to customers runs our own business. This means bugs get caught in our deployments before they ever reach yours.
We contribute to the Astro ecosystem and publish technical guides on our blog covering topics from content collections to monorepo architecture and Lighthouse optimization.
The Technology Stack
- Astro 6 - Static site generation with island architecture. Zero JavaScript by default.
- SolidJS - Reactive UI for interactive islands like theme switchers and mobile menus.
- Tailwind CSS 4 - Utility-first styling with custom design tokens from
theme.json.
- pnpm + Turborepo - Monorepo package management with build caching.
- Zod - Runtime schema validation for content collections and config files.
Every tool in the stack was chosen for developer experience, build performance, and output quality. No page builders. No databases. No plugins. Just files.
The typed schemas and clean file conventions also make Wumty structured for AI-assisted development. Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Windsurf can all navigate, modify, and extend a Wumty project accurately - here’s how.
What Developers Say
“Shipped a client site in 2 days. Same build used to take me 3 weeks on WordPress. The 100/100 Lighthouse score sold the client before I even opened my mouth.”
- Daniel R., Lead Developer at Pixel & Code
“We moved 8 client sites to the Agency Kit monorepo. Maintenance went from 20 hours a month to near zero. Best $799 we’ve spent on tooling.”
- Priya K., CEO of Orbit Digital Agency (12-person studio)
“I’m not a developer. I followed the docs, edited the config files, and had my coaching site live in an afternoon. It actually ranks on Google now.”
- Marcus T., Founder of Level Up Academy
