BUILT FOR SERVICE BUSINESSES
The guiding-star starter for SMB marketing sites.
Fast, accessible, and SEO-strong by default. Built and maintained by Bytes Unlimited.
WHAT LODESTAR IS
A small, opinionated marketing-site stack for service businesses.
Lodestar is the starter Bytes Unlimited builds every new client site on — professional services, trades, hospitality, healthcare practices, MSPs, real estate, nonprofits. You get a fast, accessible, SEO-strong site in days instead of weeks, on the same proven base every other Lodestar client runs on.
THE FOUNDATION
What ships in the starter
-
Astro 6 Foundation
A fast, zero-JavaScript-by-default static site on Astro 6 — TypeScript, Tailwind v4, and MDX, with pages that pre-load as you hover.
-
Security Hardening
HSTS, CSP, and the security headers most sites forget — set correctly out of the box, plus a spam-protected, Turnstile-ready contact form.
-
SEO Baseline
Rich Schema.org structured data, a sitemap, and clean robots rules from day one — no SEO plugin to buy, install, or configure.
