A site that represents
a business.
A design system, page templates and a build that survives its second year — not a set of one-off comps that fall apart the first time someone needs a page nobody designed.
The common failure is designing a site page by page. Every comp looks considered in isolation, and then someone needs a page nobody drew — a policy update, a new location, a role that has to be advertised this week — and it gets assembled from whatever is nearest. Six months later the site is visibly two sites.
So the deliverable is a system rather than a set of pages: a type scale, a spacing rhythm, a colour set with stated contrast behaviour, and components that already answer the questions a new page will ask. Templates cover what you have and what you will plausibly add.
Whether a CMS belongs in the build is a real decision, not a default. Content that genuinely changes — posts, listings, a team that grows — earns one. Content that changes twice a year does not, and a database nobody writes to is a liability with a maintenance cost and a security surface attached.
Performance and accessibility are build requirements here rather than a later pass, and the site ships with its repository, deployment pipeline and written documentation. Taking it in-house afterwards should be a decision you make freely, not one the stack punishes.
