When you need product logic, custom auth, complex integrations, or a component system that outgrows visual CMS limits. Dan picks the stack after scope, not before.

What you walk away with

Production-ready front-end work. Component-based, accessible by default, and structured so your team can extend it after launch.

Component-based UI implementation
Performance and accessibility as defaults
Clean handoff and documented patterns
Integration with your hosting and analytics

What you won't get

No mystery plugins, no minified bundles you can't touch, and no 'that's a theme limitation' six months in.

A page builder you are stuck maintaining alone
Minified code with no documentation
A different developer than the one you briefed
Performance debt baked in from day one
Components that break when content changes
A stack you didn't agree to upfront
