Building and handing over client sites

The honest play-by-play: scaffold, schema, agent build, review, ten-minute handover. Two days total.

Builders and hand-coded sites are both the wrong trade. Draw the line at content instead.

Worth it for big editorial teams with sunk investment. For new builds, skip the PHP layer.

Median build time 21 → 4 days, Lighthouse 61 → 99, support requests 9 → 1. And what we gave up.
