At HA Web Studio, GitHub is where every project's code lives, giving you full visibility and ownership of your website's codebase, not just the final live product.
Why We Use GitHub at HA Web Studio

How GitHub Helps Your Business
Owning your codebase, not just having it exist somewhere, matters for the long-term flexibility of your website. With your project hosted on GitHub, you're never dependent solely on one agency or developer; the complete code and its history belong to you and can be handed to anyone else if needed.
GitHub's review and issue-tracking tools also keep development organized and transparent, you can see exactly what's being worked on, what's been completed, and what changed in any given update.
GitHub Use Cases We Build
- Hosting the complete codebase for your website or application
- Organizing feature requests, bugs, and project tasks
- Reviewing code changes before they're deployed live
- Connecting to automated testing and deployment via GitHub Actions
- Providing a clear, transparent record of project progress
GitHub + Our Stack
GitHub is the central hub connecting Git version control, GitHub Actions for automated testing and deployment, and the actual codebase for every Next.js, Node.js, and WordPress project we deliver.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do we own our GitHub repository? Yes, we typically set up the repository under your organization's account, or transfer ownership to you upon project completion.
Can we see what's being worked on in real time? Yes, GitHub's issue tracking and project boards give visibility into current progress and completed work.

FAQ
Is GitHub always the right choice?
No. It is useful only when it matches the project requirements, team ownership model, and long-term maintenance plan.
How does HA Web Studio decide whether to use it?
We evaluate fit against performance, maintainability, integration needs, content workflow, hosting requirements, and total cost of change.
Can this be replaced later?
Where possible, we keep responsibilities separated so a future migration does not require rebuilding unrelated parts of the website or application.
