Honest: when is a rebuild worth it?
When it pays off
Slow or dated site, you can't change anything yourself, monthly plugin/subscription fees pile up, or you've outgrown a template. A full rebuild pays for itself fast.
When it isn't needed
Your current site works fine and barely changes? Rebuilding would be throwing money away — I'll tell you straight, no rebuild for the sake of it.
What you actually buy
No theme or plugin stack: a site fully rewritten in Next.js + Supabase, with an own admin so you can tweak everything. Fast, yours, no lock-in.
Choose Studio VM if…
you want a fast, own site or shop without monthly cost explosion, one fixed point of contact, and code that stays yours. Local entrepreneurs, SMEs, studios — that's my strength.
Not sure a rebuild is worth it?
