What mattersThe usual way2PIX
Where the site lives
In an admin panel on a server or inside someone else's service, with its limits and its subscription.
The public version is built as a standalone site; it does not need our runtime.
Speed
Depends on the server, the template and the set of extensions.
Pages are built in advance; there is no server-side CMS in the public version.
Search and AI services
SEO is bolted on with an extension after launch.
Markup, metadata, a sitemap, structured data and a file for AI services are part of the build.
Content edits
The editor easily touches the structure and the layout.
Only the fields the role allows are editable; the structure of the site is out of reach.
The role of AI
Generates a whole page and edits files at random.
The agent works inside the CMS in reviewable change batches; publication is a separate step.
Changing the contractor
Sources on someone's laptop, or the project locked inside a service.
The project is portable: another specialist opens it and carries on.
Who answers
Whoever took the job. Once they vanish, the matter is closed.
The brand: acceptance before handover and a replacement at our cost.
