No monthly fees and no lock-in: you own the code and can host it wherever you like.
You own the code and the domain outright. Hosting is yours to choose, and most Philadelphia clients handle day-to-day edits themselves through the editable sections.

Every build is measured on Google Lighthouse before launch and again after go-live. The target is 100, and it is a number you can verify for your Philadelphia site yourself rather than take on trust.
