Most companies, many associations and some private individuals leave the construction of their websites to professional companies. There is nothing wrong with this. However, you should be careful with whom you enter into an agreement with and what agreements you accept when entering into the agreement.
In a specific example, a company had entered into an agreement with a media agency, which, far down in their terms of business, had written the following:
“The copyright to the website design developed by XXX, as well as other graphic material, belongs to XXX. Upon termination of the collaboration, website hosting, etc. will be discontinued. The customer does not reserve the right to the website, cf. copyright law, and must therefore have a new website developed by another supplier.”
This will usually be a huge burden for the owner of the website on the day they want to terminate the collaboration, regardless of the reason, because they will have to start from scratch with building new pages and achieving rankings on Google and other search engines.
For the company, however, it is immediately smart, because you tie the customers to you and make it costly for them to switch to another provider. The customer may even feel that the new provider is doing a poor job, because the customer's website will usually fall in search engine rankings in the first period after the switch. As mentioned, this is not due to the new provider, but because the website has to be built from scratch again due to unreasonable conditions with the original provider.
So a good piece of advice here is to never make agreements with providers who will not give you the copyright to the design and content of the website that you pay them to build and maintain for you. Also, always make sure that you have all the rights to your own website and that the domain belongs to you and not your provider.
