What Your Web Developer Isn't Telling You (9 Industry Secrets)
An honest look at the web development industry from someone on the inside. These secrets are costing you money.
Why I'm Writing This
The web development industry has a transparency problem. Clients often don't know what they're buying, developers don't always explain what they're selling.
This post might make me unpopular with some colleagues. But you deserve to know what's really going on.
The 9 Secrets
- That "Custom" Website Isn't Custom - You got a £49 WordPress theme with your logo swapped in.
- The Retainer Is Often Unnecessary - "Maintenance" means clicking "update" twice a month.
- Your Site Was Outsourced - They passed your project to freelancers elsewhere.
- Speed Optimisation Is Often Neglected - Nobody tested the page speed.
- "SEO-Friendly" Means Almost Nothing - Basic markup isn't SEO.
- The Contract Protects Them, Not You - Read it carefully.
- That Framework Choice Benefits Them - It makes you dependent on them.
- Hosting Markup Is Massive - £50/month hosting might cost £5.
- They're Making It Complicated On Purpose - Complexity inflates scope.
