Episode summary
In this episode, Phil is joined by Amanda McGrath, Blend's Commercial Director, to expose the hidden costs businesses face when choosing CMSs based on upfront savings rather than long-term value. They reveal how companies are spending £100k+ annually just keeping "free" WordPress sites running, whilst being locked into costly agency relationships and constant maintenance cycles.
You'll discover why aiming to lower costs at the outset often maximises expenses later, and learn how to properly assess total cost of ownership before making critical CMS decisions.
