BusinessI have left two page builders: one because it was hurting my site, one while genuinely admiring it. Both exits cost the same, because the price was never about quality. It was about depth of embedding.
BusinessI opened up the theme running my website and found dead code, three settings systems, and an animation for an element that never existed. Here is why commercial themes end up this way and what you can actually do about…
BusinessMost people in this trade will not tell you your idea is weak. They will take the deposit and find out with you.

BusinessPeople ask what our transformation covered, and the honest answer sounds like bravado: everything. Accounting to SAP, HR and payroll to SaaS, merchandising to a real system. The completeness was the hardest-won property of the program, and the point of…
