Can an Astro site contain interactive elements?

Yes. Interactive components can be hydrated only where needed, while the rest remains lean HTML.

Can it include a blog or CMS?

Yes. Astro is well suited to content collections and headless CMS integrations.

Usually a React or Next.js application is a better fit for heavily interactive product workflows.
