The expensive moment in digital work is not the first concept. It is the week a designed idea meets a real content model, a real CMS and a real performance budget.

If design and engineering share names for the same pieces — hero, rail, proof, enquiry — the work stays intact when it becomes code. If they do not, every page is a one-off and the next one costs the same as the first.
