Astro is not just for small blogs. Big names use it too. Every site below is on the Astro showcase. A showcase is a list of real sites made with Astro. We checked it on November 6, 2026.

The list

Site Who they are
Unilever Consumer goods company
IKEA Furniture retailer
Porsche Car manufacturer
Cloudflare Web infrastructure company
Firebase Studio Google developer product
The Guardian Engineering The Guardian’s engineering blog
Michelin Tyre manufacturer
Proton Privacy software company
Jamie Oliver Celebrity chef’s site

Big sites change a lot. A spot on the list does not say how much of a site runs on Astro. It may be all of it. It may be one part.

What you can take from this

Look at the pattern. Most of these are sites you read. Brand pages. Docs. Blogs. Campaign pages. That is where Astro shines. Your first site is likely the same kind of thing.

You do not need a team to use the same tool. Start the free course and have your own site online today.
