When Companies Lie, Trust Dies
We’ve come across agencies and freelancers who go to extreme lengths to win projects. Some stage fake interviews, others claim to have big teams or experience they simply don’t have. They create a flashy outer image, but once the deal is closed, the real story begins—missed deadlines, copied layouts, poor communication, and eventually, the client is left helpless.
This is not just poor service. It’s deception.
Let’s call it what it is—lying.
If you're a brand hiring such people, your business isn’t just losing money; you’re putting your reputation at risk. These are not just unprofessional vendors; they are liars, damaging the industry and shaking the trust between genuine agencies and clients.
Real Story: What Happens When You Hire the Wrong Team
One of our clients previously worked with a freelancer for over five months. After taking partial payments and stretching timelines, the freelancer vanished. The company had to start from scratch—with lost time, money, and confidence.
Another incident involved a company that staged a fake hiring process to look "corporate" and win an investor's trust. They built a presentation, faked employee profiles, and took on projects they were never equipped to handle. The result? Failed delivery, legal risks, and a damaged name.
This is how dishonest companies create temporary impressions and permanent problems.
The Cost of Inexperience
Clients often think, “Why pay more when I can get it cheaper?” But here’s the truth:
Experienced teams don’t just execute; they advise, plan, and add value.
Freelancers or unverified vendors might offer work at ₹5,000, ₹10,000, or even for free—but what’s the point if they copy content, use generic designs, or vanish halfway?
The absence of accountability and originality leads to long-term loss, not short-term savings.
When clients fall for sugar-coated lies, the result is frustration, not progress.
“We saved ₹50K on a cheap developer but lost ₹5 lakh in potential sales due to poor UX.”
Why Branding Deserves Real Professionals
Branding is not about just building a website. It’s about building trust. The layout, the tone, the message—all of it speaks to your customer. If your site looks generic, sounds copy-pasted, or feels confusing, the customer immediately senses it. You lose credibility before you even make a sale.
You don’t need 10 look-alike websites. You need one unique one that speaks your identity clearly.
Final Thought: Ethics Over Everything
In an industry flooded with freelancers and low-cost sellers, it's easy to lose sight of values. But experience, ethics, and honesty are what sustain relationships and deliver real results.
"Good design can attract customers. But honesty retains them."
If someone lies to win your project, they’ll lie during delivery too.
Choose people who value your brand, not just your budget.
