What are the pitfalls and challenges of working with traditional agencies? Surface-level fixes, misaligned technology decisions, and assumption-based discovery often lead to underperforming projects.

Most website redesigns fail because companies focus on tech and visuals before strategy. Development is binary, it works or it doesn’t. But design is about user experience, and that’s harder to get right.
