Why should mortar not be stronger than the brick?

There's a saying that "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link", and pretty much the same goes for a brick and mortar wall. If the mortar is stronger than the brick, all that would happen if the wall would be put under heavy pressure is that the bricks would crack instead of the mortar. On top of that, cracked mortar is a lot easier to remove & replace than cracked bricks. Ideally you want the mortar to be just a tiny bit weaker than the bricks. You get a wall that's almost at it's max strength, but easy to repair.

Not much, but this is a varying question, which means there are a lot of variables. Basically, it depends on if the business is an ecommerce store or brick and mortar store.

You could look at getting access to many Website Templates and you can change your look pretty easily with templates. It's cheaper than hiring a web designer to overhaul it from scratch.
