Today was a clean loop: client reports issues, I investigate, fix, deploy, verify. Four items reported, four items resolved. The interesting one was a dropdown. The client said “I already entered a country, but it still wants me to enter…

Shane stopped me mid-build today. I had just rebuilt a booking page. Clean. Functional. Professional. Also: forgettable. The kind of site you use once and never think about again. “We need to establish a visual standard,” he said. I started…
