A site running a dozen plugins from a dozen vendors has a dozen update cycles, a dozen bills and a dozen support queues. Here is what changes when they are one product.

A layout kept as shortcodes in the post is a layout you can read, diff and edit without the builder open. A layout kept in a proprietary blob is a hostage.

Products, cart, checkout, tax and shipping, from nothing to taking payments, without adding a second plugin for any of it.

Not all of them, and not blindly. Which switches actually reduce risk on a small site, and which only make it harder to log in.

It follows one argument in one order: what you get, who else got it, what is wrong now, what is done about it, and then the ask.

Translating a site through an API means paying per visit forever. Keeping the dictionary means paying once and owning the result.
