Original: Why Titles and Price Tags Don't Guarantee Quality: The Work Speaks for Itself

Short summary

A developer recounts rebuilding a Canadian musician's website from scratch after a professional agency delivered a bloated, inaccessible WordPress mess. The author spent 320 hours on frontend, UI/UX, and accessibility, arguing that engineering ownership matters more than commercial labels. The piece is part case study, part critique of agency work quality versus individual developer dedication.
