Your page goes live 1:1.
What your designer or AI created is exactly what goes live: the same code, graphics, and animations. Nothing gets rebuilt in a page builder, so nothing gets lost along the way.
01Astral Editor for WordPress
Edit your site’s content
right inside WordPress
Astral Editor connects a site built with AI to simple management of your texts, prices, and images. The design stays exactly as it is.
✓No manual field setup✓Design stays 1:1✓Edit right in the page preview
WordPress and AI. Together at last.
A new page in days.
A campaign, a special offer, a new service. Each one gets your site’s full design quality and goes live directly, with no page builder rebuild.
A new language is a process, not a project.
A new language version is neither machine translation nor a separate project. The text is rewritten in the target language, goes through two independent reviews, and is then managed just like the main version.
Speed and SEO by design.
Each page is served as a finished static file, so nothing is assembled on load. Structured data and social share images come standard, not as an add-on plugin.
02Live split-screen preview
Page on the left,
fields on the right
On the left is the real page in Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile modes, with zoom. On the right are the fields you edit. No guesswork: the preview is the exact page your visitors get.

03SEO at the page level
SEO that shows
reality, not guesswork
Your agency turns on the SEO tab based on your site’s needs. You can then edit the title, meta description, and social share image, or set a page to noindex. The editor checks lengths, image alt text, and heading structure.

Automatically creates a social share image from the actual page

04Draft → Publish
Nothing goes live
until you publish it
Every change goes to a draft first. It reaches your site only when you click Publish. All changes are saved in History, and you can go back to any of them at any time.
Save draft
Nothing is public yet. The editor keeps track of your work in progress and flags unpublished changes.
Publish
Required fields and text lengths are checked before anything goes live. If several people edit at once, no one overwrites anyone else’s work without warning.
Restore
A single field or a whole page version, anytime, from History.
05Top bar
Edit
right on the site
When you’re logged in, you see a slim bar on your site in your brand colors. The pencil icon opens the editor for exactly the page you’re on. SEO, History, and Updates open as previews right from the bar, without leaving the page.
Replaces the WordPress admin bar
On mobile, bar items tuck into the More menu

The biggest difference isn’t the editor. It’s the build.
In a typical WordPress workflow, the editor’s structure is built alongside the site’s structure.

07From our own experience
We speak from experience, not hearsay
We ran Elementor on our own website. Our homepage was built on it, and a single page carried tens of kilobytes of builder code. We tried placing finished, fast pages inside it. In our measurements, that didn’t help: the builder keeps its own layer between the content and the visitor. So we stopped working around that layer and removed it. That’s when Astral was born.
We built client websites with Gutenberg. The trickiest thing we learned: the editor can show a different site than the one visitors actually get. Think blocks without styles, or a message saying “your site doesn’t support this block.” That’s why we built our own tool to measure the gap. Astral is designed so the gap can’t occur, because the preview in the editor is the same page visitors get.
We still use ACF, but only for what it does well: structured data, such as price lists or branch locations. Not for editing pages. In our implementations, clients filled in fields in the admin, separately from the page, and only saw the result after saving. In Astral, you click the text on the page and land right on its field.
Astral isn’t a hunch. It’s a conclusion.
Coming soon · MCP integration
Connect Astral to AI via MCP.
Alongside the editor, Astral also has an API. The upcoming MCP integration will let AI create pages, edit content, and publish changes directly, while you keep control over design, history, and publishing.

Who gets the most from Astral
One editor, three roles, one audited history.
Business owners
Edit text, prices, images, and videos without touching code. Anything the editor doesn’t offer as a field can’t be changed, and that’s by design. You don’t have to learn page design just to fix a price.
Business ownerEdit content without breaking the page
Marketers
Launch a special offer, a new hero headline, or a different photo on your own, right away. Edit the title and meta description in the same place as your content, and the social share image is created automatically.
MarketerCampaign edits without the wait
Developers
Code and design stay in your hands, and you build the site wherever it makes sense for you. The site’s build can pull published text through a secure interface, so it also reaches pages created outside WordPress. The HTML tab is for administrators only, requires a special permission and a temporary unlock, and also checks the source version the editor started from.

Common questions
Do I have to learn a new system?
No. The editor runs in WordPress, where you log in as usual. You edit right in the page preview, much like working in a document.
Can I change the page layout when editing?
No. You can edit only the prepared content fields. We create new pages and layouts, which you then manage like the rest of the site. This separation is what keeps content edits from breaking the site.
Will visitors see my unfinished changes?
No. Your changes stay in your draft until you publish them yourself.
What if I make a mistake?
You can go back: restore either a whole earlier version of the page or just one field you overwrote.
What about AI? Does it write my copy?
We use AI as a production tool, not as an automated feature inside the editor. It helps us build pages and prepare content, and a person always approves what it proposes. In the editor, there’s no “write it for me” button, just your copy and a page preview.
How do AI tools work with Astral?
To AI tools, a page is code they can read and write, not a closed editor structure. Edits and publishing can run automatically, not just by clicking around in the admin. That lets sites be built at the pace you expect from code, not a CMS.
How is the social share image created?
Automatically. After you publish, a screenshot of the page is taken and used as the preview on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other networks. An image you pick manually always takes priority.
Why is the site fast?
Visitors get the page already finished. WordPress doesn’t assemble it on every load, and third-party plugins don’t touch it.
What happens in a redesign?
Your content is stored separately from the page design, so a new version doesn’t start from scratch. For larger rebuilds, a developer completes the integration so nothing gets lost.
What if I want to switch providers?
The site is yours. Its pages are clean HTML in your WordPress, and the content goes with them. There’s no proprietary format that ties you to us.
Want to handle routine site edits yourself?
Just fill in a short form and we’ll get back to you.
