Hire a JavaScript Developer
JavaScript work where the first question is how much JavaScript the project actually needs — sometimes the answer is a framework, often it is not.
Most sites ship 300KB of framework to power one accordion. The JavaScript discipline here runs the other direction: modern vanilla JS — ES modules, platform APIs, progressive enhancement — for interactions that do not need a framework, and full framework work when the product genuinely is an application. Knowing which is which is the deliverable that saves budgets.
Typical engagements: interactive site features (calculators, configurators, booking flows), legacy jQuery rescues and staged modernization, third-party script audits where tag-manager sprawl is quietly eating performance, and API-driven front-end work at the scale where JavaScript is the right tool and a framework would be overkill.

Questions
Asked about JavaScript.
Usually not. A content site with forms, menus and a few interactive features is faster, cheaper and more maintainable on modern vanilla JavaScript — the platform absorbed most of what frameworks used to provide. Frameworks earn their keep when the site is an application with complex state.
Yes — the typical culprits are unthrottled scroll handlers, layout thrashing, and third-party tags fighting each other. A focused audit-and-fix pass usually moves interaction metrics dramatically without touching your design or CMS.
As a new-build choice, mostly yes; as an installed base, absolutely not — a huge share of the business web still runs on it and it works. The honest posture: maintain it safely where it is stable, modernize opportunistically where you are already working, and never rewrite for fashion alone.
