About Astro Nursery

Astro Nursery is a free learning site for people who want to build a website with Astro and have never done anything like it before.

Most Astro material is written for developers. We start earlier: what a website even is, what a terminal is, and what a host does. We write in plain words and short sentences, so that anyone can follow along, whatever their age. If a step needs an explanation, it gets one.

What we publish

Start from zero, six short pages that explain the web before you touch a file
A free seven-lesson course that ends with a live website
Step-by-step tutorials, each tested on a stated Astro version
A plain-English glossary
Free tools that run in your browser

Who makes this site

Portrait of Ryan James — **Ryan James** started Astro Nursery. He runs Seahawk Media, the company behind it, and builds websites for a living. He sits on the review board and reads the final draft of every guide, so it's written the way he wishes someone had explained things to him: plain words, one step at a time, nothing skipped.

Humdee, a small cream-coloured dog, on a navy background — **Humdee** supervises. She sits beside the keyboard while every command is tested. She hasn't learned Astro yet, but she has never once been stuck on a step, and she thinks you won't be either.

The whole Seahawk team, and how a guide gets from draft to published, is on our editorial page.
