It’s a common strategy used by web designers and media agencies to keep clients bound to their services. When a business initially seeks to enhance its online presence, everything often starts off well. The client is excited about the new website, impressed by its strong visual appeal and functionality. But as time goes on, they realize they’re stuck in a system that restricts their freedom to make updates or changes independently.
This happens because the website is built on proprietary platforms or custom solutions that only the original developer can modify. To make changes, the company must return to the same vendor, which usually means high fees and long waiting times for even simple adjustments. And if they want to switch designers or agencies? The transfer process is either extremely complicated or requires starting everything from scratch—an expensive and time-consuming endeavor.
Vendor lock-in limits flexibility, increases long-term costs, and leads to frustration as companies find themselves dependent on a single vendor.
