Definition

Platform lock-in means dependency on a vendor's proprietary builder, hosting, or data format that makes exit costly.

Why it matters during migration

Wix, Shopify, and Divi are common lock-in sources — migration buys long-term optionality.

How To WP applies this

Our audits and delivery playbooks reference platform lock-in when scoping redirects, QA, and launch monitoring — especially for Strategy workstreams.
