Content & Publishing

Write, schedule, and publish — without leaving the admin.

Every content type your site needs lives in one editor. Pages, posts, media, and forms are all managed from the same place your team already works.

Draft, schedule, and publish

Full draft/publish/trash workflow with scheduled publishing and soft-delete with restore.

Roles for every contributor

Editors, contributors, and admins each see only the parts of the CMS they need.

Every action is logged

An activity log tracks every content change so nothing is lost and nothing is a mystery.

Pages

Build and manage every static page — Home, About, Services, Pricing, Legal — with built-in SEO controls, scheduling, per-page password protection, and duplicate-page in one click.

Blog & Posts

A full editorial system: rich posts with featured images, categories, tags, scheduled publishing, and moderated comments. Give clients a real publishing workflow without WordPress.

Media Library

Central library for images, documents, and uploads. Image variants are generated automatically on upload so pages stay fast without any extra steps from your team.

Form Builder

Drag-and-build contact forms, lead-gen surveys, and feedback forms. All submissions land in a centralized inbox — not just an email thread that gets lost.

Design Blocks

Reusable content blocks — CTAs, hero sections, pricing tables, testimonials — built once and reused across pages. Update in one place, reflected everywhere on the site.

Menus & Navigation

Drag-and-drop nav menus with up to 3 levels for header and footer. No template edits, no code. Configure header and footer navigation in minutes.

Design & Themes

Switch the entire site look in one click. Customize visually, ship instantly.

Theme switching, live visual settings, and a full page builder — no redeploy, no staging environment, and no developer required.

Theme Switching

Switch the entire site appearance in one click — no rebuild, no redeploy, no broken pages. Theme history makes reverting instant if needed.

Zero downtime

Live Theme Settings

Change colors, fonts, layout, header, and footer settings visually in the editor — see the result live before committing the change.

What you see is what ships

Visual Page Builder

Drag sections, adjust spacing, and control content hierarchy without touching code. What you build in the editor goes live exactly as designed.

No developer needed

Responsive Control

Set desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts separately. Every breakpoint is intentional — not a scaled-down version of the desktop view.

Every screen, intentional

Branding & Site Identity

Site name, tagline, logo, favicon, and brand color — managed once and applied everywhere by the active theme automatically.

Widgets & Sidebars

Manage widget areas — sidebars, footer columns, announcement bars — from the admin panel without editing theme files.

Open to Custom Code

Drop in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript wherever you need it. The visual builder handles 80% of the work; custom code handles the rest.

SEO & Growth

Rank, get discovered, and convert — without a separate plugin stack.

Every SEO surface is built in and ready on day one. Titles, meta, schema, social cards, sitemaps, redirects, and even llms.txt for AI discovery.

Core SEO Suite

One control panel for every SEO signal your site sends.

Set titles, meta descriptions, Open Graph, Twitter cards, canonical URLs, and structured data from a single interface — no plugin, no workaround, no separate dashboard to juggle.

Custom meta titles & descriptions per page
Open Graph + Twitter Card previews
Structured data (JSON-LD schema)
Canonical URL control per page
noindex / nofollow per page or sitewide

XML Sitemap & Robots.txt

Auto-generated XML sitemap and robots.txt for every page and post. Google-ready out of the box — always current, never stale.

301 & 302 Redirections

Manage URL redirects with hit tracking — critical during site migrations and URL restructures without losing SEO equity.

llms.txt (AI Discovery)

Be discoverable by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. A standout SEO feature built in by default — no extra setup required.

Search Console Integrations

Verify with Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, and analytics providers from a single settings screen.

404 Error Logs

See every broken URL visitors hit. Then redirect, fix, or remove it before it costs you rankings or conversions.

RSS Feed

Auto-generated feed for blog readers, content aggregators, and newsletter automation tools. Always in sync with published content.

Security & Access

Built-in security your clients can see and your team can rely on.

Custom domains with automatic SSL, role-based access control, 2FA, and a full audit trail — in the plan, not sold as add-ons.

Custom Domains + SSL

Connect any domain with automatic SSL certificate provisioning. Visitors see your client's own domain on a green-padlock secure URL — Astero is completely invisible.

White-label ready

Two-Factor Authentication

TOTP-based 2FA on every admin login. No third-party app required — works with any standard authenticator like Google Authenticator or Authy.

Enterprise-grade login

Roles & Permissions

Fine-grained access control — owner, admin, editor, contributor. Assign exactly what each team member can see, edit, or publish. Perfect for multi-person agency teams.

Right access for every seat

Activity Log

Every important change is logged — who did what, and when. An audit trail that sells trust to enterprise clients and saves hours when something unexpected happens.

Full audit trail

Login Lockout & Attempt Log

Brute-force protection with a visible log of every failed sign-in attempt. Automatic lockout after repeated failures — configured and active by default.

Brute-force protection

Site Access Protection

Lock the whole site behind a password while building or staging. Or protect individual pages for member-only content and client pre-launch reviews.

Private by default

Site Operations

Run your sites without raising a ticket to the dev team.

Maintenance mode, caching, cookie consent, localization, and status controls — all managed from the same admin panel, no terminal access or developer intervention required.

Maintenance Mode

One-click "we'll be right back" page while pushing updates or running migrations. No code, no server config, and no engineer required at midnight.

Coming-Soon Mode

Pre-launch landing page with countdown timer. Start capturing leads and building your client's audience days before the site goes live.

Cache & CDN Controls

Purge page cache and CDN from the admin panel after content updates. Sites stay fast and current without a developer touching the server.

Cookie Consent Banner

GDPR and DPDP-friendly cookie banner, configurable from the admin. No third-party script, no plugin subscription, no compliance gap.

Localization

English and Hindi out of the box. Per-site timezone, date formats, and language settings — content displays in the configured locale for every visitor.

Quick-Open Command Palette

Keyboard launcher (⌘K) to jump to any page, post, setting, or action in seconds. Power users navigate the entire admin without lifting a hand from the keyboard.
