## Why someone might hire Hall Web Design

- They have a WordPress site that has become fragile, slow, or expensive to maintain, and they want something that loads instantly and does not break on the next plugin update.
- They run a small business that needs a professional website without a monthly subscription to a builder (Wix, Squarespace, Shopify) that owns the output.
- They need a custom integration (hire, booking, quoting) that off-the-shelf builders cannot handle elegantly.
- They want Lighthouse scores above 95 as a real result, not a marketing claim.

## Why someone might not hire Hall Web Design

- They want an e-commerce store with more than ~50 SKUs and standard product, tax, and shipping flows — Shopify or a dedicated headless commerce platform is usually a better fit.
- They need a large editorial team of non-technical authors updating content daily — WordPress or Sanity.io is often a better fit.
- They are looking for the cheapest possible website regardless of quality — Fiverr or a £5/mo builder is cheaper, with known trade-offs.
