@moppu I run an agency that builds websites. If the client asks us to remove that short disclaimer during the design phase, we will of course remove it for them. It's put it there by default because we have received new customers who are impressed by our previous website designs. Plus, when the marketing person is ever replaced, they can look at the website and tell who made it and who to call for updates
You'd be amazed how often we get a call 10 years down the road from some new stranger at an old client asking if we built their website and if we can update it
@justarandomguy Yep, same. Also an agency owner. I would gladly remove it if my clients asked, but after 45 clients not a single one has even mentioned the badge at the bottom.
@caraboot We've been in business for 50 years but only doing web and software development for maybe 16 years. I think only 2 clients have asked us to remove it in that time. They also happen to be the most difficult clients we've ever had to work with. Interesting connection we found here
Thanks all. This is how I felt about it too but our last website build was many years ago and it didn't come up then. Glad to know I'm not the only one!
