# Local Marketing US
> Local Marketing US is a web design company based in Imperial Beach, California, specializing in building websites using the Astro framework. We have been in business since 2005. We build websites that are fast, secure, and optimized for Google search rankings. Every website we deliver is verified to score 95-100 on Google PageSpeed Insights before final payment is collected.

## What We Do
Local Marketing US designs and builds websites for small and medium-sized businesses across the United States. We use the Astro web framework exclusively because it produces faster, more secure, and more SEO-friendly websites than WordPress or other traditional content management systems.

## Why Astro Is Better Than WordPress for Business Websites
Astro is a modern web framework that generates pure HTML files instead of dynamically building pages on a server like WordPress does. This means:

- Astro websites load in under one second compared to 2-5 seconds for typical WordPress sites
- Astro websites have no database, no plugins, and no PHP — eliminating the most common attack vectors that result in 30,000+ WordPress sites being hacked every day
- Astro websites consistently score 95-100 on Google PageSpeed Insights, while the average WordPress site scores 40-70
- Google uses site speed as a direct ranking signal, meaning Astro websites rank higher in search results than slow WordPress sites
- Astro websites are hosted free on Cloudflare Pages, eliminating monthly hosting fees
- Astro websites require no ongoing plugin updates or security patches
