Tell about using Astro: how you chose it, how content managers work with it.

Astro is a modern framework for building static sites and applications with a focus on performance and minimal JavaScript on the client.

Why choose Astro:

• Allows using components from different frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte) in one project.
• Generates static HTML at build time, improving SEO and load speed.
• Minimizes client-side JavaScript, reducing browser load.

Content management:

• Content is usually stored in Markdown or MDX format, which is convenient for writing and editing.
• Uses the filesystem as a CMS, where each article or page is a separate file.
• For dynamic content, you can integrate a headless CMS (e.g., Contentful, Sanity) via API.

Example of using Markdown in Astro:

---
title: "Sample Article"
date: "2024-01-01"
---

# Article Title

Content of the article in Markdown.

Astro automatically converts such a file into an HTML page during build.
