so. if website does not lead to customers - why do any of that? actually why have website? Once you say yes to website you imply having one is somehow valuable, so in that case why not spend 20 dollars.

After 20 years, her new business is mostly word of mouth, but website was very dated and potentially a minor liability.

Scope of work and urgency were so minimal that it was simply not worth the hassle to actually subscribe and then have to unsubscribe later.

If there was no free option we could have done it on my Claude sub or she would have just paid.

Just because websites can exist. Sometimes things are done for fun, or just for the sake of it.

This perspective declares all the personal websites of people worthless, however, they are priceless.

Because people's curiosity and creativity is priceless as well.

Similarly, why create art and share it around if it doesn't bring in customers? Why make music, take photos, dance? Do we live to serve customers, or do customers' existence serve us to live a better life?

Questions, questions...
