It's figuring out what's wrong.
A client might say:
โOur website isn't working.โ
That's not really a problem statement.
It's a symptom.
So I start digging.
Is the messaging unclear?
Is the user journey confusing?
Is the mobile experience poor?
Is the website slow?
Are forms failing?
Is traffic reaching the wrong pages?
Is SEO holding the site back?
Is the technology itself limiting what the business wants to do?
Sometimes the answer is technical.
Sometimes it's strategic.
Sometimes it's both.
That's why I enjoy website projects that require more than simply following a checklist.
There's something satisfying about taking:

and turning it into:
โ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ'๐ ๐ฒ๐
๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐น๐ ๐๐ต๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ'๐ ๐ต๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ถ๐

That's where I believe real development value lives.
