During the 2026-01-29 team stand-up, Mark made the decision to rebuild Anudan's website at no cost to the client. The existing site was migrated onto Asymmetric's WP Engine hosting but uses a non-standard theme and page builder, making it difficult to maintain and guarantee quality. The rebuild is framed as a strategic investment rather than a client deliverable.
This decision reflects a broader policy established in the same meeting: Asymmetric will not host sites built on unsupported builders or themes long-term, as they cannot guarantee maintenance or performance standards.

Rebuild Anudan's site at no cost, using Asymmetric's standard tech stack (theme + builder).
If Anudan is not willing to become a long-term client, the alternative is to migrate the site as-is and direct her to find a new host.
"If she's going to become a client, we will at our own expense rebuild that site using our builder and our theme... We're not going to charge you anything. We're going to rebuild your site at our expense so that we can guarantee that it works and it's maintainable."

| Owner | Action |
|---|---|
| Sebastian | Notify Anudan of the free website rebuild offer |
| Ishak | Begin the rebuild in a new staging environment |
This decision is consistent with the general rule established in the same meeting: Asymmetric should not host sites for non-clients or sites built on unsupported stacks. Other examples discussed include Cramp Aid, which is hosted but generating errors and not actively managed.
The staging environment workflow to be used for this rebuild follows the new mandatory protocol: spin up a fresh staging environment from production → do work → push to production → delete staging. See [1] for details.
