How it works

AI-managed means something specific.

Every Astia site goes through the same lifecycle: you tell us what to change, an AI agent drafts the change, we review it, and Netlify deploys it. That loop runs on every property we manage. Here is what each step looks like in practice.


The stack

Why Astro.

Astro is the framework behind some of the fastest websites on the public web — Google's own developer site, Netflix's job board, parts of NASA, Figma, Microsoft. A pure Astro site can ship as static HTML at build time: no database query on every visit, no server-side app to attack, and little or no JavaScript until you choose to add it. That is what the stack makes possible, not a guarantee for every Astia site. Booking widgets, galleries, or React animations add weight, and every build is different. The figures below are illustrative of a lean content page.

First contentful paint 0.7s Possible on a lean content page
Total page weight ~80 KB Before media, widgets, or animations
Lighthouse performance 98–100 On a page that stays close to static HTML
Time to deploy a change < 2 min Typical for a static deploy, not a page-speed promise

These are not SLAs. Visual-heavy pages and client-side motion will land above these numbers — we measure each site after launch.

Every Astia subscription includes the boring necessities.

Global edge hosting

Your site runs on Netlify's global edge network, with a 100% uptime SLA.

SSL, backups, DDoS

SSL certificates, renewed automatically. Daily backups via Git. DDoS protection at the CDN layer.

No database, no plugins

No database to compromise, and no plugins to keep updated.

Regular audits

Quarterly performance audits, plus an annual accessibility review and design check-in.

Sveltia CMS

Sveltia CMS access for unlimited team members, with version history on every change.

Languages & bookings

Multi-language editing and direct booking-engine integration.

Email-to-edit (Managed)

An agent drafts changes from email or WhatsApp, including automatic content drafts, and monitors the booking system.

Human review (Managed)

Human review on every change, and a response within 24 hours.


What direct bookings actually save.

Saved per month
CHF 3,240

vs. paying booking.com commission on 18 average bookings.

Assume a 30-room property, 65% occupancy, average rate CHF 240, 30% of bookings via OTAs at 15% commission. Shifting 18 of those bookings per month to direct via a fast website saves CHF 3,240/month. Astia Managed costs CHF 350/month. The math compounds.


Astia is a product of Marcorosso Consulting.

We're a small team based in Lugano with two decades of combined experience across hospitality technology — Triptease, SiteMinder, Cloudbeds, Canary Technologies, Planhotel. The Exploreans collection was the first portfolio of properties built on this stack. Astia is the productisation of that work.
