AnyTech provides transaction account processing for retail financial services. They work with over 40 financial institutions serving more than 200 million customers. The site needed to communicate what they do clearly and look the part for a fintech audience.

This was also my first project using Astro.js, so it doubled as a learning exercise with a real deliverable.

Why Astro

Astro made sense here. The site is mostly content and marketing pages. No complex client-side state, no dynamic dashboards. Astro ships zero JavaScript by default and only hydrates what needs to be interactive. For a content-heavy site like this, that means fast loads without extra work.

Coming from SvelteKit, the mental model was easy to pick up. File-based routing, component-based architecture, and the island architecture pattern for sprinkling in interactivity only where needed.

Site Structure

The site covers their three main offerings: AnyCaaS (Core-as-a-Service), AnyBaaS (Banking-as-a-Service), and AnyPaaS (Platform-as-a-Service). Each has its own solution page breaking down the features and use cases.

Beyond that, there are services pages, an about section, and contact forms. Standard structure for a B2B fintech site, but each page needed to balance technical detail with clear messaging.

Design

Fintech sites walk a fine line between looking trustworthy and not being boring. The design uses clean layouts, smooth scroll animations, and enough whitespace to let the content breathe. The goal was to feel modern and professional without overdoing it.

Lazy-loaded images and opacity transitions keep things feeling polished as you scroll through the pages.

Performance

Astro's zero-JS default pays off here. Pages load fast, content is server-rendered, and the only JavaScript that ships is for the interactive bits like animations and form handling. No framework bundle weighing down a page that's mostly text and images.

Takeaways

Astro is a good fit for this type of project. Marketing sites, product pages, content-driven platforms. It does exactly what it promises and doesn't get in the way. The island architecture makes it easy to add interactivity without committing to a full client-side framework.

It was a solid first experience with Astro and I'd reach for it again for similar projects.
