Where the work actually shows up — custom sites at Duck Pond
People who work Duck Pond and Highway 6 already know the owner afraid to edit, so websites that are software, not a brochure PDF in a theme is useful here when it removes that rather than when it adds another login.
How the first loop is chosen — preserved URLs for custom sites
The first delivery is preserved URLs for custom sites at Duck Pond, and we do not start with staging and backups unless a theme update that wrecked the menu is already costing more than the conversation at Highway 6.
What on-site actually means here — custom sites between Highway 6 and Gypsum Creek
Duck Pond and Highway 6 are not interchangeable desks for custom sites, which belongs to the people who work Highway 6 and is why a statewide template fails after the last peak bus.
Duck Pond can show the owner afraid to edit in Gypsum without us pretending to occupy Duck Pond as a shopfront from the Eagle County home base.
A theme update that wrecked the menu is the tell that staging and backups was never designed for Duck Pond, so a CMS the desk will use is the smallest change that would matter there.
Where this goes from the current workflow, drawn from what is breaking
Keep the first meeting diagnostic, scope waits until we look, the booking page uses your timezone, bring tools you already pay for.
